[DML] Re: Manual Transmission Gear Oil

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are talking about the side of the final drive against the motor
there is no gasket. If you mean between the final drive and the
transmission you are messing with some critical dimensions. As Dave S
says you cannot just arbitrararly make changes here without adjusting
for them. As for the sealer I tried the Hylomar and was not pleased.
The case kept leaking so I had to pull and redoe with regular silicone
sealer. I have found that the machining of the surfaces and housings
is very good so unless you have warped or damaged something the paper
gaskets will seal well. I use silicone anyway, just to be sure, and it
helps to hold the gaskets flat and in place during assembly.
