need a good old fashion thick cork ?  or what ever they used back in the day trans pan gasket, both 60/61 trans pans leak, it seems to be the rear of the pan on the 904s, the very back center of pan where it attaches   has an indentation that doesnt completly cover the gasket, if that makes any sense, u can actualy see part of the gasket uncovered,  that seems to be the spot where its leaking,  the 60 never ever leaked, but since new gasket, its leaking like the 61, which has always leaked,   only leaking form pan gasket no where else,  any recomendation

rtv is a no no, I think I might be over torque the pan bolts, its tempting to check them and give them a snug, I believe the new pan gaskets are thin er than the old style gaskets,

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		You can use the old fashion Cork and the other modern materials as well. The most important thing is to check the oil pan - most probably, someone overtightened the bolts during the years and this makes the pan bulge out around all the bolt holes. Mount a round shaft in your bench wise and carefully straighten out the material with a hammer.

I Always use a very thin layer of Brown Death (Permatex) on the pan side - be careful not to get any inside the pan. This glues tha gasket to the pan and ease future service as well as ensures a tight oil pan.

Tighten the bolts with a torquewrench according to the FSM.

I'd like to see a pic of the area that doesn't seal.

The current factory (2205299 dealer only) 904 gasket is solid with silicone rubber beads...it seals better than ordinary composite gaskets.

<p>rtv is probably okay, but i live under "murphys law"     hard to see, but at the top of the picture , is where I find it difficult to seal, why it has that indentation unknown, aftermarkets do not have that feature, iv order 2 new modern gaskets that should cure my drip, also I will be sure not to over tighten the pan bolts, I will follow the repair service instruction</p>

<p>here's another one on murphy's list, replace your intake/ exhaust gasket, clean and touch up the intake and exhaust manifolds , put everything back together, start her up, running good no missing, smooth as silk , take her for a run, here's the murphy's law part ,the float needle gets stuck open, stalls in the middle of the road at 6am in the morning, carbs flooding out and over, your nice clean intake, no tools, nobody around, unsafe to leave,( might be up on blocks and striped when u return with tools) out of the shadows a police car, officer just happens to have a 9/16 ,1/2" wrench, loosen up the fuel line, remove and replace the needle, fire her up ,all's well. next time u see a hard working peace/police office, give him/her a thumbs up!!!!!!!</p>

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Well I don't know about the thumbs up; I never got anything else than trouble, various fine and tickets from our "dear" police force, so I'd rather give Another finger

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Yes, you're right, the cops was really troublemakers back then - Actually, that is "us" "raggare" in the first era, car interested guys forming gangs and partying - as you see, not appriciated by the authorities

Location: Fairfield County, CT		Where is this thread going? Anyway, I used a Felpro gasket from Autozone sealed with Mopar spray gasket sealer. Worked great and I don't worry about getting any RTV into the tranny. Flattening the bolt holes is a must for proper tightening.
