Getting ready to bolt my manual trans to the bell housing but wasn't sure if I needed anti-seize for the bolts since the bellhousing is aluminum. I would think I do but when I checked the service manual it says nothing about it. Just says bolt it up.  Joe

I use it any time I'm putting steel bolts into an aluminum casting.

To be honest, I get a set of dog pointed studs and use them instead of bolts, with anti seize.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Kevin I agree.I use it on everything.Last 2 shops I worked at I even got the guys there to use it all the time.I told them if it comes back in say 2 years for the same repair it will come apart easy.In Ohio the rust is bad.Only time I dont use it is when lock tite or teflon is used.I even take brake bleeders out all the way and use a dab on them.Rocky
