Any excess that gets squeezed inside ends up all through the trany, clutches and bearings.

service honda should...

a thin layer of gasket maker is o.k. try an avoid getting it on the inside, make sure u let it set up good b4 filling the cases with oil, do a oil change after u ride it once too to help flush any lil pieces, then u should b good to go.

I learned a great deal from my father (as any son should). I think he said it best when I was about 15.

He said "I used to use Liquid Gasket makers all the time, until it dawned on my that I was fixing my car more and more often..."

Now, by "tranny cover", I hope you mean your clutch cover or stator cover, something easy to remove and reapply. If you used a RTV for your actual case halves, you deserve every oil leak you get.

I think he means clutch cover.
