What do I seal with? NP208 and adapter to tranny?

[6BangBronk]

Putting in a 208 with an adapter tonight and was wondering what the consinces was on sealing them together? Do I need gaskets? Or just use RTV? The old gasket is still on there should I keep what's left of it? Or scrape clean? Any help would be MUCH appreciative for I'd HATE to do this job again.

Oh yea, the adapter is seperated so if a seal kit is needed, do I need 2 different kits to get the front and rear of the adapter? And if a kit is needed, any idea what it's called?

Thanks again!

I just cleaned the surfaces real good removing any high spots etc and used a lot of standard silcone sealer. No problems with leakage, even with the clocking ring in between them.

rtv sealant and make sure all of the old gasket is scraped off.

10-4! That's what I thought!

U don't need sealer if u have a seal in the trans and in the case. I have a 208 in mine with a clocking ring no sealer, no leak.

So you used a seal of some sorts? Please elaborate? Rubber? Gasket? Do you know it's name?

Thanks.
