I've got a Wix transmission filter kit on order from O'Reilly and it shows that it comes with a pan gasket. Any one use a pan gasket on their CRD with success, or should I just use RTV? Thanks Dave |

Some Old Giezzzzers much older than me and others, like cork gaskets for some mystical reason that is beyond the Laws of Physics. I use RTV after I clean it off with great success. If anyone wants to buy my cork gasket I got with my Wix kit from O'Reilley, send me a PM, I will only charge S&H. That way I don't need to buy a garbage sticker. |

Use ultra black RTV and you wont have problem. Manufactures don't use cork anymore because of leaks sooner or later. |

I have a gasket on mine. Zero leaks. RTV is all fine and good until it comes time to change the filter again. Then you have a mess to clean up before you reseal it. |

Gasket is the way - wrong way to go about things. |

The RTV wasn't too hard to remove. I scraped what I could get off, and then use a wire wheel on my drill (pan only) and got the rest off. Put a bead of RTV on the pan and let it skin over for about 15 minutes, then torqued the bolts to 110 "/lbs. So far no leaks. I did make one of those Mason jar vacuum recovery bottles and sucked out 4 quarts of fluid before I dropped the pan, made it a whole lot less messy...didn't even spill any  Dave |
