Larry says;
Does anyone have a suggestion for a sealant for gluing/sealing the
transmission cover to the body? I want to make sure there are no leaks here.
Someone said that silicone sealer has acid in it? Help?
As far as a sealant is concerned, I'd use a silicone based adhesive or
sealant for gluing/sealing the transmission cover to the body. It's true that
these sealants release acetic acid on curing, however, acetic acid is a weak
organic acid (major organic constituent of vinegar). It should not harm either
the metals or plastics used in your case. Since the acetic acid is released as
the stuff sets up, over time the odor and acetic acid go away leaving only the
pure silicone polymer. That's why silicone has become such a standard for
these applications. Don't sniff the stuff and avoid that glass of wine while
your using it. It will make anything you drink taste like, well, vinegar!
Larry, when do we get to see the renewed GT6? We're all waiting.
