Go to Ford or
Chebby and tell them you need a diff cover gasket for a specific car and see what you get. Wont be any type of material. Will be a very expensive tube of either black or grey RTV.

Im sure ford or chevy would make sure to install all the differential cover bolts. I can live without the gasket being replaced, but when im throwing gear oil out of a hole because its missing bolt it makes the shop look bad.

A t56 has an adapter plate. It was manufactured to be interchangable. A gm t56 has a different adapter plate as does a viper, but for the most part the internals are interchangable. Hence a viper spec t56. The major difference between them is the clutch fork location (3 5 or 7 o'clock IIRC) and the depth it will install the input shaft.

it looks like a two piece bell-housing. Or a bell plus an adapter.

That's still part of the bellhousing or an adapter, not part of the tranny case itself. Look at the clutch fork dust cover - that opening comes all the way to the back of the part you're talking about where the RTV is.

The technical name for it is the transmission front adapter, it's not just an adapter, its required to keep everything inside the transmission, if you ever rebuild a T56, you pull the case off of the front in order to get the mainshaft and clustershaft out.

My original point was the fact that someone has been inside the tranny, RTV IS required there or else it would be dumping ATF out of the tranny, kind of scary thats all, but much less humoring than it would be if they RTV'd the bellhousing

Hrmm, guess its not a t56 then, i see a bell, the front of the case, rtv, then the rest of the case

found they didn't bother using a gasket to seal the cover.

Its a t56 I see what your saying now. I dont know

I think its a adapter plate of sorts that goes between the tranny and bellhousing. I see the same thing you do.

[Daniel6718]

Thats just a bellhousing. The case was never open

it appears that that is the case that was opened? i can see the bell and trans where they meet and it appears to not be there.

this shop didnt install Notros did they?

I came to your shop a few months back and talked to you about a local shop that didn't put a bolt back in the differential cover. When I replaced the bolt I went ahead and replaced the fluid and found they didn't bother using a gasket to seal the cover.

Thats typical, most shops dont, it wont hurt anything, nothing wrong with it, but silicone doeent need to be globbed on.

Thats a bellhousing its a 6 speed not a 5spd
