Gearbox

Hello all, just a brief question, I seperated the gearbox from it's housing to paint and clean it, but didnt have a gasket, I used one of the good brands of instant gasket gel things, has anyone used this before and are they ok? last thing i want is a leaky gearbox!!!!!

If you had asked I have the gaskets

What sealant did you use. We dont have to use the term "sticky back plastic" here.

Haha, Dai I honetly can't remember which one I used, i think it was the red stuff, I've used it before but not on a gearbox, I will ask next time sir, can you get gaskets fro the redblocks?

The gasket betwixt bellhousing and gearbox is the same one for all M45/M46/M47 versions with all engines.

IIRC it costs about £7 from you friendle local Volvo dealer.
