I have taken my shifter off several times since installing his gaskets. Mine looked good and was providing a good seal everytime I removed my shifter.
oke:
on a side note, you're not supposed to use the stops on the mgw with a t-56.
Mine did the same thing

Looks melted to me as well... I don't see how/why someone would tighten it that much if that's the case.
Not to change the subject, but are you supposed to use the stops on the Steeda Tri-Ax? What can happen if you don't? Is it easier shifting if you don't? Thanks!
OMG....It's NOT melted!
Silicone gaskets are good to around 500°F and up.
No frickin way does the trans get that hot!
The surfaces were not cleaned properly and the gasket *squished* out.
Anyone with any experience with silicone should know this.

y not????
I defy anyone to produce one of these mythical internal t56 shift stops.
Wow, this one is a mystery to me. I've sold over 4,000 sets and the only thing I've seen happen in a handful of cases is the gasket gettign squished due to overtightening. It is remotely possible that a gasket might be cut a bit off since I cut every one by hand with a metal template. But that would be rare. And the material I used is good to over 500 degrees, so it cannot melt from transmission heat. I just don't have an answer to this one. HOWEVER, email me direct (not a PM please) and I will gladly send you out a new one free of charge.
It is very important to carefully follow the installation instructions. Occasionally, as stated in the instructions, you have to use your fingers on the outside edges to prevent the gasket from squishing outwards. This is more of an issue if you tighten each side down tight one at a time. You have to tighten each bolt a bit at a time to more evenly distribute the torquing. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I don't browse every forum. I spend 95% of my time on just the Terminator Talk forum. I only have so much time, and I also work a full time job during the day. And then there's my wife. And my kids. Time to make up gasket sets/process orders. Church meetings. 8 hours of sleep. Etc. :lol1:dougwg said:
I did get your PM and appreciate the heads up Doug. It would have helped if I had originally been PM'd or emailed by the person with the issue. I could have responded a lot quicker.
I surely hope nobody would feel that I would not respond to a question regarding to my gaskets if I had seen it. I am NOT that kind of guy.
