transmission pan gasket question
I've got a '55 Studebaker with a '63 Borg-Warner Flightomatic
transmission installed in it. The pan gasket is leaking badly and making a mess of the floor of my friend's garage. If I ask for a pan gasket for a later Ford FMX (same tranny) at the parts store, would it be neoprene instead of cork? thanks, nate -- replace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel |

wrong with a cork gasket anyhow. |

Engine pan gasket had also leaked @ 5,000 mi. $1.50 rubber-coated paper gasket for Ford: never leaked. I got it at a transmission supply house. |

just scrape the pan clean and use a good tube of silicone sealer gasket
