Hi gang! Me and chillman are getting ready to swap a new to me e4od into my 94 4x4 e4od. Do I need the gasket between the transmission and transfer case? Or am I just good to go with a bead of RTV?
'the right stuff' is definitely the product to use, because it works so well and has no 'set time' - just install, fill and go.
I used 100% silicone tub and tile caulk once(because that was what I had). All the surfaces were clean and I waited 24 hours before adding oil.ive used ultra gray, no issues
You shouldn't have to wait any time for any sealant to cure. There's a seal on the back of the transmission and another on the input side of the transfer case. If they're good, there shouldn't be any fluid at this joint.
Now you may be right about that one. I was going off of my past experience. I have pulled an E4OD out of a 1989 F250 and I don't remember any fluid in between the two, but I could be wrong on that. It was back in 2003. Most of the 4x4 transmissions that I've removed were manual.Are you sure about that? I could have swore the 4x4 e4od didn't have an output shaft seal on the transmission, and that the seal between the transfer case and the transmission was necessary.
