That will be the next gasket I'll use if this one leaks again after I find a way to keep the bolts tight. I got a fel-pro gasket, a new one again, and put the high tack gasket sealer on all four surfaces. Let it dry to a tacky touch. Installed pan. Didn't put any fluid in for over 24 hours. Ran the car a few miles, got home, no leakes, and checked the bolts. They were ever so slightly loose. Tightened them again. Drove a few miles today, got home and pan was leaking. Bolts were loose again. Tightened them again! Drove a few miles again, got home no leaks. Checked bolts, they were loose again!! About maybe an 1/8 of a turn to tighten them except two that took about a 1/4 turn to tighten them. Don't know why the bolts keep coming loose so I want to try the Blue Threadlocker. Hopefully that will keep the bolts tight and the pan from leaking.

that should be the only gasket you use...and they are reusable too...

Are you positive its the pan leaking? I only ask because I thought my cast pan wasn't sealing only to find out it was my dipstick tube o ring. I needed to install a new o ring with some rtv smeared on it to stop the leak. Shift seals are also another potential leak source that makes it look like its a pan leak.

I also had a TCI pan that I finally got to seal. I soon found out I had a bad casting and it was leaking THROUGH the pan. 1 little pinhole. I returned that pan, got another, used the gasket mentioned and used lock-washers on the bolts. That seemed to do it. eightlitermopar

If the Blue Threadlocker doesn't work keeping the pan bolts tight, I'll be trying that gasket for sure.

How loose are the bolts in the treads of the trans case ?.... OTHER THAN getting some of those nylon inserted bolts(they have been used on some of the B/RB and Hemi engine oil pans) .... I would try a simple lite lock washer....
Sorry, Doc, I don't understand what you are trying to tell me.
The bolts for the pan have lock washers.
The trans is fine.
No plastic anywhere.

Doc, never seen those before.
Would those work better than the bolts that came with the pan and Permatex Blue Threadlock, Locktite, Locktight? That one.
