transmission gasket

Can you run a good gasket maker or do you have to run the gasket for clearence? This is for the transmision cover not the cvt cover.

thank you

Run the gasket. A leak will cause fluid to get on the belt and ruin your day.

I have to agree with Rocky on this ,we tried the rtv thing 4-5 yrs ago and could never get it to work effectively. also i do believe it is a clearence thing also.

Cometic makes a nice gasket that is reusable i have used them on my Kasea for a couple years they last forever and they are not very expensive.

or just buy a roll of gasket material for like 10 bucks @ the auto parts store and cut your own, you will need a hole punch but you will have a bunch of them for really cheap!

naaaah I would rather spend the couple bucks and have one already cut out rather than spending 15 mins doing it, besides it gives the little kids @ the factory something to do for money;)
I can picture a huge wharehouse full of kids cutting out minarelli / jog motor tranny gaskets. maybe over there they have like cutout and coloring books with dot to dot of gaskets to cut :rolleyes: "today kids we are going to cut out Honda clutch cover gaskets:) "

Now I don't care who u are that's funny.The gaskets from cometic are very nice they are aluminum with a hard rubber like coating.The only time I really had to replace the was if the cover came loose.if I remember right I think they were like 7 bucks each.
