hard to find Loctite and gasket products

Loctite high temperature sleeve retainer

anaerobic gasket eliminator

These products are needed for the clutch/tranny job, but I can't find them. Autozone, Checker, Lowes, and Home Depot don't have them.

Do you have a Carquest nearby? Maybe Rock auto? Loctite has a website with distributor locator features. You can try to call around and see if they carry it or can order it. Also other aftermarket stores that carry the loctite brand may be able to order it or you can try to find the Permatex equivalent.

Loctite is more of an industrial name. Permatex used to be part of Loctite, then was sold off as Loctite was bought by the Henkel corporation. My father used to be a regional manager for them.

You want to get Permatex Part #51813 Permatex® Anaerobic Gasket Maker or even better Permatex part #25249 PERMATEX® HYLOMAR®* HPF Gasket Dressing and ****** Sealant.

Either or should be available at bigger hardware stores, and most larger auto parts places. Napa carries loads of permatex products. If you still can't find what you need let me know, I did some work for the VP of sales for permatex and I can prolly get him to send me a few sample cases of the stuff. I'm still working through the last case of Permatex heavy duty Nitrile gloves I was sent.

Thanks for the responses. The nearby automotive stores are rather sorry. There are larger ones a bit farther away I will check-including Napa this time.

One of the clerks at Auto Zone couldn't understand why I didn't want RTV.

I also e-mailed Permatex.

I was fortunate to have a local AutoZone that stocked the PERMATEX® HYLOMAR®* HPF Gasket Dressing and ****** Sealant. Blue Loctite is a suitable substitute for the sleeve retainer for the throwout bearing quill sleeve. It is the metal tabs that perform the locking of the sleeve on the transaxle. The Loctite not only adds adhesion, but fills the gaps to prevent the sleeve from moving and releasing the tabs.

As an aside, loctite is carried by a few industrial parts suppliers. If you use the website locator you can find a few dealers nearby where you wouldn't think to look. That's (industrial supplier) where I found the Nylog I will use on the a/c project.

I finally found those at Napa. Thanks for the help. Napa had a large selection.
