I am having a hard time finding a transmission pan gasket for my 58 Edsel. I called the local parts stores and all of the big chains with out any success. I found one online but thought I think I might get some gasket material (cork) and cut it out myself but I also wanted to know if anybody has had any success with the RTV Gasket maker for a trans pan. Anybody use RTV for their trans?
Sounds like you need a better parts guy.....I was on the phone with my parts guy and reading this. I asked him.....he told me he could have it tomorrow.
What kinda trans? If its a large case Fordomatic behind an MEL you might have trouble finding one that actually works. Seems to be the solution is to make one out of gasket material.
Hitchhiker, Who's your parts guy? I just moved back to Ca from Wa and used a local place in Pasco called 9 to 9 and they could get it too. Went to Napa, Monument, Auto Zone... rld14, it is the med case mx cruise o matic hotroddon, thanks...do you know if this stuff works good?
I have used the black permatex, it works good as a gasket. My son who worked at a dealer said thats all they use anymore for alot of applications... He did his 4X4 axle covers with it, and nothing ever leaks..
clean it up, brake clean the surface, put a bead of loctite 518 on it, and it aint leakin' again. I use it for work every day sealing up engines. I swear by it. It will seal up to .050"!!!!
