I always use the one for Automatic Transmission Pans it’s the one that comes in the purplish/red tube and I use the black on oil pans because I’ve had different fluids eat right thru the RTV before if the right one wasn’t used.
Had this happen on me with the Red RTV, one month later, I had a huge puddle of oil leaking. I do blame myself for that because I still used a hard with the RTV. This time I'm only using the black gasket maker
Literally just got my 2006 ford escape this procedure yesterday 🥺 Im so ready to drive,😅 It’s Nice out! My mechanic finish at 4:13.. Saturday...so i’ll start my vehicle up & drive around a few, about 6 pm today!🥳
Gasket sealer or RTV can make its way into the transmission fluid, it happened to me once out of 20 changes, transmission would not shift or operate because of one little spec of sealer. I am experimenting with using Gasgacinch gasket sealer, to see how that works. Otherwise not using any automatic trans fluid leaking everywhere. My 22-year-old mechanic who works on fighter jets left it leaking. I am old very hard for me now to change the fluid.
If you feel like it will seal, I would just fill it up and then check for leaks after a couple days. Part of the reason for letting it cure is so that it doesn't squish the silicone into the pan potentially intermixing with your transmission fluid creating contamination that you don't want in your transmission
I used the gray thinner gasked tube and it was a nightmare. It falls apart in small bits. I am sticking with the thicker black using it with the gasked on both sides.
My transmission pan is a dorman and it's not a perfectly flat mating surface. It has little depressions in between the bolt holes. My worry is that RTV won't spread out in a pan like this evenly. Should I be using a rubber gasket?
@@JCTFIXIT I used an overmolded rubber gasket, and so far no leaks. But now after changing my shift solenoid pack, I'm still getting the P0750 code and stuck in 3rd, which is why I pulled the valve body in the first place. FML.
man for a second i felt like i was watching bob ross paint....but I thought the "right stuff" was the better silicone. Its ready to roll in 1 hour. More advanced and by the same company
I used this stuff for the 2md time and my shits still leaks. Idk what I'm doing wrong. Went around all the holes and put it on til it squeezed out then waited an hour then tightened them up and waited about15 hours to fill oil.
Not sure, but a few suggestions... 1. Always go get new product. Don't use an old tube that has been laying around. 2. Wait for it it to fully cure. 3. Clean all your surfaces extremely well and get all oil and residue off before applying. 4. Don't apply too much or it will have a hard time curing. Good luck.
You may be overtightening the bolts, and pushing the rtv out, which, in its turn, makes too thin of a layer during the process of tightening. Try first, hand, (two-finger), tight, then wait for 1 hour, and torque it to specs, then, wait for 24 hours, instead of 15.
If shops do this all the time and just put the pan right up, pour oil, and car drives off, wouldn't the sealant not be cured and contaminate the oil or transmission oil? Shops probably dont have all gaskets for all cars on hand.
JCT FIX IT did you ever you the high temp stuff red? I just did mine, well I had to redo it cause there was a small leak cause my bead wasn’t great. But second time looks great so far.
Nice and clean both surfaces with razor nice bead around bolt holes mate together and nip up then tighten stop using gaskets on alloy sump s bit of a pain 😢
I am thinking of using the Ultra Grey because 22re Performance recommended it. They specifically said not to use the cork Fel Pro gaskets. And they know their stuff about Toyotas which is what I have.
@@JCTFIXIT Either a Jurassic Park reference or he thinks you're cheap for using this as opposed to buying a gasket. Maybe he doesn't know not everything has a gasket to buy for it. I'm gonna have to use this on my 2004 Saturn Vue V6 oil pan, they don't make a gasket for it and it just started leaking all around the edges after I cleaned the sludge out of the engine ( apparently that's all that was keeping the oil in lol ) , only had it for a little over 1k miles, trying to make it nice and last a long time. Was on the fence about this or the red due to heat but I think I'll go with this for maximum oil resistance. Appreciate the video!
