Went to Cobra Bobs web site but nothing opens up, I did email him. Im going to be changing out my shifter and would not like to use silicone, Is there a gasket available some place?. Ive searched a lot and cant find anything. --- guess I might have to call Tremec.

If the gasket compresses a little over time it’s a straight bitch to snug those bolts back up, especially the front ones. I believe that’s the cause of my slow trans leak. Mine will get the rtv treatment soon.
If it was a regular t56 I’d run the gasket all day every day

Sorry, I discontinued the Magnum T-56 gasket kit a few months ago.

Magnum is notorious for tearing the inner shifter seal and it may look like the leak is at the case to shifter.

The Magnum T-56 gasket kit was never a big seller. Maybe 3-4 a YEAR! So it made no sense to continue it. If you REALLY want one, I can make you one by hand. Email me through my website for more info.

I did buy that part after you all posted about it. I do know for a fact that the shifter mount bolts had somehow backed off over time, Im not one to leave things loose either.

I discovered that it was the torn seal when I took my shifter boots off and could see the oil around the shifter itself.
