914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Transmission sealant-

Posted by: PBC914 Jun 17 2012, 06:57 AM

I replaced the transmission cap due to a partially broken ear. In the process I also loosened the intermediate plate.
I am going to clean off the old paper seals.

Question: Could I only use RTV sealant instead of replacing the paper seals between the case and the intermediate plate and the transmission cap?

Thanks!

No the paper seal between the main case and the intermediate pplate are what sets the ring ang pinion deapth

Don't forget to ACCURATELY measure the thickness of the gasket stack!

Overall thickness is what matters.
