Had my transmission rebuilt and sealed up with the old pan. Wasn't happy with my rattle can paint job on it so I removed it and had a quality job on it. I cleaned the surface of the tranny as well as the pan 100% clean. Inspected the pan for warpage, or places where the previous owner had tightened it to much and made humps where the bolts go. Looked flat and nice. So i replaced the tranny pan with a new gasket. Was told not to use any other sealer like silicone, etc...that it would seal fine with just the new gasket. Well..I think it must have leaked about 2 quarts out of the 4 so far that I put in. Wasn't even gonna try and fill it after I saw it leaking around most of the edges. Oh well..I drained it tonight and removed the pan. Gonna let it drip dry and clean the surface again really good. Whats the best gasket, sealer, etc to use so that this doesn't happen again.
