re-assembly of mtx trans

[sho4life]

i have the write up from bizzy and did exactly what it says to do. I used the anaerobic sealant. I noticed it doesnt dry. So i read the label on the tube and you should use a activator? doesnt say nothing bout that on the instructions that i got from bizzy. Do i need to take the trans back apart or just leave it how it is? also there was no gasket in the first placew. How the **** do the mtx's not leak?? Thats my question of the day guys, thanks

That stuff dries when its OUT of air , hence its name. When both cases are in contact that small part where they touches have no more air , and it will dry/seal there. Anything that oozes out wont dry cause its in contact with air.

Even when its dry , its still really soft compared to dried RTV silicone.

If the sealing job was done right and it doesnt leak , you are good to go.

BTW it doesnt leak cause both cases are machined and when they become one , theres barely any places for it to leak.

The activator helps it set up faster, but it is not required. You just want to make sure the mating surfaces are super clean. The excess on the inside will squish out and dissolve in the trans. The excess on the outside will get all over your hands, tools, pants, shirt, etc. The material at the mating surface reacts to the metal ions and the lack of oxygen and will harden into a seal.

You should be fine if you followed Bizzy's instructions.

The fresh, clean metal surfaces actually catalyze the anerobic sealant to set. Make sure you try shifting it through the whole pattern with a screwdriver before putting it back in the car.
