>posted this question on LRO a while back, but I got no response. What
sealant, if any, should be used on the speedo housing shims? The
original
(I think -- I bought this '66 in 1970, so it's probably untouched) shims
from the transmission I'm rebuilding had a dark film that seemed to be
soluble in lacquer thinner, but the workshop manual doesn't mention any
sealant. Whatever I did when I rebuilt my other transmission a few years
ago seemed to work, but I can't remember applying any sealant
It is not necessary to apply sealant to the shims. If the faces are
clean, the surface area is large enough to give a good seal. If you are
nervous then use one of the non setting types of sealant (i.e Hylomar)
The dark film was probably dried oil residue.
