What can I use to seal my tranny cover FOREVER?

I'm tired of my tranny cover leaking. I bought a new cover and it still leaks. I've tried a cork gasket, rubber gasket and even tried two of each gasket! I've tried it with the spray tack with no luck.

I now want to bond it to the tranny FOREVER! Tell me what to use and I'll do it! I know this isn't the brightest idea, but I can't take it any more. Nothing makes a classic car look crappier than fluid leaking on the ground every time you park it! HELP!

Are you sure it is leak from the pan ?
maybee comming from plug inside the bell for kick down lever shaft .
Or maybee the case has a crack or the vent is plugged .
i work on subaru cars and the factory puts the pans on with this pink factory trans silione type sealer and let me tell you if you use that you could take the bolts out and drive forever after it sets up .
i would not do anything drastic like jb or anything .

use one of the new style gasket on it

get it at the dealership parts counter

around 20$

kinda thick with o-ring rib on both side,it does not crush,DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE PAN BOLTS! it will strip the threds out...the gasket does not cruch and its re-usable

make sure the pan rail is in good shaped and not warped/puckerd at the bolt holes

hammer dolly them flat if need be first

are you sure its the pan leaking?

you have 2 seals right above the pan rail(shift selector/throttle pressure valve linkage) that will leak and drail down on to the pan rail

the lines can leak as the brass fittings some times cracks

the NSS switch can leak

the low revs pivot pin can leak,its at the rear of the case and tail housing

I degreese/wash them down good with brake clean,throw a hand full of baby powder around all the palces it leaks

this will pin point where it is leaking real ez

if you have done the pan that many times,with a new pan,I would wager its something else leaking

and your right it does make a kool car look junky when it drippys

cast alum pans are another good way to seal up a alum case tranz

good luck

Sorry but you just can't do that , the trans need to be serviced . I'll second are you sure it's the pan , gravity is a funny thing . Ther are 3 leak points ABOVE the pan , remember that gravity thing ??? The dipstick tube , the seal for the shift shaft and the pin for the rear band are all places that can leak and you'll think it's the pan ...
