I just replaced the output shaft due to tcase failure. Don't want to use the wrong one and end up with a catastrophic failure due to sealing problem with the rtv.

cool, I bought the black rtv, plus I purchased Pennzoil syncromesh, anything on the tcase? I just installed the cover and it started raining so the tcase install will be delayed until tomorrow ...

no problem, after some searching, I found a few options. Thanks. Galant should be up and ready to start tuning this upcoming week. I've waited too long..

Quoting turbowop:
I use grey for everything on the car.



Yup!

My friend works at a Mitsu dealer and they use Permatex Grey from the parts department.

So do I. So does every technician at the dealership. It's pretty much the standard for any mitsubishi. I don't know why anybody would ever use anything else, unless they simply don't know any better. Ultra Grey is the sh*t!

toyotabond FTW..... best stuff i've ever used for anything.

sometimes it works too good though. its RTV on roids. ask for the oil pan version, they make a transmission one too, but im not sure if it was designed for auto trans or not, and its another 10 bucks at the local Toyota dealer.

I used the black one and after running down the hood a few times, no signs of any problems. Thanks for the responses.

Black is good also. I use gray for coolant and my tranny, and black for the oil pan, and either copper spray or ultra copper on exhaust.
