Sealant for trans gasket

Any adhesive or sealant on the pan gasket on the turbo 350?

There is nothing required. The biggest issue is don't overtighten the fasteners and distort the pan rail. This probably causes more leaks than anything. I sometimes use a little high-tack to hold the gasket in place on the pan, but this can be a real pain when it's time to remove it. The other trick is to tie the gasket to the pan using thread through a few of the bolt holes. The thread is small enough that it doesn't affect sealing and there's no adhesive to scrape off the next time.
