Trans cases

Do you put anything on the trans case gasket, light coat of gasket maker or Indian head or just dry?

Not sure what the other fine folks do but I put mine on dry. I figure the transmission case is quite stiff and not much prone to flexing. Plenty of bolts to hold it all together.

I've never has to use any gasket cement... just put the gasket on dry.  Your discretion though...

The factory never used sealant, and neither do I.  Just make sure it is clean and smooth, you will thank yourself if you have to ever take it apart again.  :occasion-xmas:

I use a thin coat of gasket sealer on mine. it's a PITA to get back off if you need to open them back up again, but a Scotchbrite wheel on a 90 degree die grinder makes short work of it.

At toro the gaskets still come with the inner part. I keep it to make other gaskets in the future.
