I've just ordered a front cover for my transmission for where the throwout bearing sits from mazdatrix, but failed to order the gasket for it. I was just wondering if anyone ever replaced this gasket or have they sucessfully used scilicone and got the job done. its just that if i order it front mazdatrix, its going to take another year before i get it and shipping is gonna be ball blowing.

And expert advise is appreciated.

 

I think you could use RTV if used sparingly. Then you have to think. What if I apply it wrong and then it leaks after I install the transmission? Duh.

I have a non turbo car I suspect is leaking there and bought the gaskets. Bought two. Have not used them YET. I'ts a small leak that can WAIT.

Or you could just make a gasket out of a roll of gasket paper for three or four bucks and an exacto knife.

 

When the shop rebuilt my transmission, they just used RTV.

 

thank you so much mr cake, you are a life saver i knew someone had advice for this.. lol... hey.. ive been waiting so long for you to release your short shifter..... i ended up buying a mazdatrix one -=(... i was just too tempted. lol... but is there anything going on with the ss you are making?
