Trans pan gasket

[WTFWSAT]

Do any of you guys running an AOD transmission know where i can get a cork pan gasket?

I havnt had much luck with the rubber one and that seems to be the only kind the local parts stores carry.

I know i could buy the cork and make my own but that seems like a waste.
Has anyone used just silicon on a trans pan with good results?

Thanks
Chris

FWIW, the chrome pans never did seal on my cars, i had to just use a old steel pan, or grind the chrome off the sealing surface.

Farpak gaskets. Way better than cork or rubber. Torque them to 100inlbs and forget it.

3.27 with tax, got about 50 in stock.

Unless your working on a chrysler.

I second the issue of being hard to get chrome to seal with anything.

As MonteC said, no RTV, and Farpak gasket material is better than most cork out there, although premium cork does exist in some places. If you have bent up pan rails on your pan, cork can conform a little better for gap filling than Farpak can. But for flat pan rails, my vote goes to Farpak.

One thing I have encountered with cast pans is the gasket surfaces tend to be very slick, like chrome, with the resultant sealing difficulty issues. Take a roloc disc or some 220 and under sandpaper to the gasket flange to rough it up some if you have a chronic leaker.

Unless you have a pan like that boy from Geralds tire had. :hysterical:

Yeah, the pan that dude brought in the other day was definitely a victim of the "meathead" torque wrench! Some folks are just plain dangerous with tools.

I dont have an Inch pounds torque wrench. So i just use a 1/4 rachet and take it easy on the bolts.
