how hard is it to reseal a tranny case that has been taken apart?

should i just go to a shop and have them do it? i have hondabond at home..

 

bump. i need to know this.

 

As long as it's all together correctly... sealing it is easy.

 

well its been put back together without a seal.. do i have to open it up again and seal it?

 

bump

 

There needs to be a seal around the two halves or it will leak.
Yes, you need to undo all the bolts and place a bead of rtv where the halves come together.

No sealant is needed between the block and transmission

 

ive never worked with transmissions before.. is this an easy jo? or am i better off taking it to a shop?

 

Transmissions are not as difficult to work with as everyone makes them out to be.

If you can undo the housing bolts, you can reseal it. The most confusing part about it will be torquing them in the right order and to the right spec....which is simple enough....once you get a manual.
Its really just as simple as the 2nd sentence I wrote in the previous post:
"undo all the bolts and place a bead of rtv where the halves come together."

If the trans is already on the car-
If a shop did it, make it their problem. They screwed up.
If you did it, then you already know how to drop the trans.

 

thank you
