I am wondering what people suggest to seal the bell houseing and tranny side back together with.

Thanks,
Pat

RTV of some sort?

Oh, and if you need axle seals, let me know. I've got a set of new ones that my mechanic forgot to put in when he did my clutch.

I've got the seals :D

Need something with no thickness to it at all. "so it doesn't change the bearing seat" I've got it right on the money right now going to double cheak though when I get it back together.

I think I just used some sort of RTV on my MTX.

I believe the proper sealant is an Anaerobic sealant http://www.cyclepedia.com/anaerobic-sealant/

Or a rigid flange sealant of some sort, I don't think I'd use RTV though.

Or buy the Ford TA-16 gasket maker from me to reseal it. :)

I'll stop by there early next week and pick some up from you since I need to get a couple more things.
