Resealing S4 TII tranny
Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out if I can reseal a TII tranny. It's not leaking at the rear shifter housing (where I already sealed it), it leaks at the plate before it. Do I need any special tools or is it pretty simple to remove that plate? Or should I just take it to a shop and have them do it?

you won't really need any special tools unless you plan on taking the gears out of the case so you should be good. once the tail housing is off, iirc the only thing you need to remove to get the center housing off is to remove the shift fork ends.
if what i see is your transmission solidly mounted to the crossmember, that might be one reason why you are having the leak.

Removed the shifter housing(TII one is different than what is pictured as I'm using a 12a shifter housing to fit into the FB). "Right stuff" definitely makes it harder to remove things. Then removed the 3 shift rod ends and popped the bearing housing off. Need to clean everything up now and figure out what kind of RTVto use. I can't use "right stuff" unfortunately cause it cures too fast (your supposed to have it torqued down within a minute I believe). Need time to install the shifter rods as well as the shifter housing...I need at least 10 minutes to make sure I install everything properly. If anyone has any recommendation on the kind of RTV to use, please share.
Sensor and shifter cover to be removed. Pin holding shifter block needs to be removed (no pic)

anaerobic sealant, though it's not for sale at most automotive parts stores. we used to use it on gearboxes when i worked for dodge, so they would likely have some. (dodge, chrysler or jeep dealer)

won't harden when exposed to air, it will however only give you one shot once you bolt everything down as it cures immediately once assembly begins.
