So i was changing my tranny and dif fluid the other day and when i was all done and everything was buttoned up i realized that i forgot to put the metal gasket on the tranny drain bolt. Was just wondering if this was bad. Like is the gasket meant for leaking or just so u dont overtighten and strip the bolts??

 

Just keep an eye on it

 

yeah i have been i was just curious... i havent noticed anything really. there was a little the day after i did it but i figured that was just from the mess i made trying to put the new oil in. thats all ive seen so far

 

you should be fine. oh and get some brake cleaner to clean up those messes when you make them lol

 

huh never thought of that. i just used a rag lol.

 

Got to try that out. Thanks

 

It acts like a gasket. I'm really not sure if it'll leak or not. I'd keep an eye on it...

 

yea im looking at it every 2 days or so. but wut sux is that im leaving soon for a while and i just dont want to come back to a car that has no tranny oil
