Manual transmission end cap seal
Hi All,
I just finished refurbishing the end cap on my manual transmission, I had to replace the rubber bellows on the shift mechanism as it rotted away. I have a new paper gasket for it and I am ready to install it back on the car. Should I pre-treat the paper gasket with a sealer or just put it on and torque it down and it should be good to go?

I usually use Tack gasket on all cut gaskets, I just wasn't sure if there was a "don't use anything but the paper gasket" scenario on the Transmission.

The paper gaskets require perfect mating surfaces. If it's not a critical dimension, I cut thicker gaskets. For the W pipe I did that and used a sealer on one side but left the other side dry so the pipe can be removed.

I think I used that on it 12 years ago, there was some remnants of some blue thin sealant on the old paper gasket which I believe was the Hylomar sealant.
Thanks for the reminder!!!
