Purchased a transmission filter kit for my 2006 Dodge caravan 3.3L from NAPA. Kit has , filter, O ring and rubber transmission pan gasket. This will be first filter and fluid change on vehicle.
As I understand it, as the vehicle now stands the transmission pan gasket does not have a rubber gasket but Mopar ATF RTV MS-GF41 ( silicon? ) Will I have any known problems getting the pan off with this RTV?
The manual tells you to put a 1/8 inch bead of the above on the Transmission pan when replacing it. It also says put this RTV under the bolt heads. I want to use the rubber pan gasket that came with the kit.
Is there a preference between a rubber gasket and RTV?
Thank you in advance Denny B Rtv
