OK, so I've had this problem before and solved it a couple times, but this time no luck, my pan is leaking, and leaking a lot, tried three times and all different methods and it just leaks a ton, not small drips.
Here's the deal, there are absolutely no leaks at the dip stick tube, shifter seal, or any of the band adjustment nuts, it's absolutely my pan. Also, I have done the powder test to see if it's between the gasket and the pan or between the gasket and the case. Unfortunately it's between the gasket and case, the pan is not showing seeping between it and the gasket and the pan is dead straight, no waves (by the way, it's an OEM steel pan and I don't want to use an aluminum pan, it's a concourse car)
So now that I've confirmed it's between the case and gasket what do I do? I've tried every type of gasket.
I just rebuilt my tranny and I'm kicking myself for not getting the case machined while it was out and down to just the case, stupid
If a silicone or RTV is my only hope, can you please specify what brand use with Type F tranny fluid and method for applying it? I've never had to use anything previously on a transmission pan so this is super frustrating and wouldn't even know where to begin.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
