Whats the best Sealant for t-56 case

[nlterminator]

Will be replacing the TOB annd retainer sleeve the weekend. What has everyone been using to seal the t-56 case? I was just going to pick up some GM grey Silicone should this be fine?

Looking for something that has a quick set time wont leak but will not need a jack hammer to get apart down the road.

Anyone?

Send an e-mail to Tremec and ask them...

The last manual trans I rebuilt was a T-5 and I used Ultra Copper - it sealed just fine. If you want to be 100% sure, let Tremec tell you or check out the service manual and see if it mentions a specific RTV.

thanks. Must be tonnes of people here that have sealed up the t-56 after putting in a 26 spline or replacing a TOB sleeve.

Be sure both surfaces are perfectly flat and super clean then a thin bead of black or grey permatex is your friend!

^^^^^^^^^THIS! "Great Stuff" by Permatex is the ultimate sealant. It's a bit pricey, but really worth it for no leaks.:beer:
