Default Transmission sealer.

So I took the valve body out again, and this is what I found.

Wait a minute, where is that red stuff that I put a week ago? It got completely washed out. So the anaerobic sealer is Not what we want. I put the paper gasket ,that I made yesterday.

Default I still don't have second gear.

Brake E is for the second gear and I need to do some research, why it is not breaking.

Default hmmm

Do you have a schematic of where the fluid goes? I bet you te sealer is all caked up in 1 spot. I would take apart the tranny filter and see if there is any red stuff in the filter.

Did you use the primer, and how long did you let it cure before filling with fluid?

Default Re: hmmm

The sealer is completely dissolved in the fluid. I found a few little spots and they were still soft like grease. It couldn't block anything.
