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! |

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