Re: [DML] auto transmission pan gasket

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Renault are now recommending the use of a gasket sealing compound instead of a gasket, I
believe. I would have to check with my garage, but they've dropped the pan on two autos
in the past couple of months and neither the tranny filter nor the gasket or compound was
difficult or expensive to source direct from Renault UK.
