Can I use the black RTV to seal my tri-ax shifter? I noticed that most use the blue rtv?

For dealership warranty requirements, insures extended drivetrain warranties compliance. Fast-curing formula. Sensor-safe, low odor, non-corrosive. Meets performance specs of OE silicone gaskets. Retains high flexibility, oil resistance properties through use of a patented adhesion system. Temperature range -75°F to 625°F intermittent; resists auto and shop fluids and vibration. By Permatex®.


Blue is only -65 to 500 so Black is theoretically better. Too bad they don't have yellow. You could get another 5HP just by using it.

Black should be fine. I think its just sensor safe where the other rtv sealants aren't.

Any color will work.

Sensor safe means it can be used on the engines of the first generation of computer controlled vehicles on our cars it doesnt mess with the O2 sensors like it did with the old ones.

Or you could try my gaskets. They are made out of high temp. silicon. They resist oils and they stand up to 550 degree temperatures. Very easy to install, scrape off the old silicon material and lay the new gasket down. They really cut down on the noise and vibration coming from your tranny. No more mess, stuck bolts, vibration, and gear whine after installing these gaskets. I have gaskets for the T5/T45, TR3650, and T56. Only $8.50 per set delivered. Over 100 sets sold, check out my site for more details.

I just ordered a set how long does it take for these to come in?

Hey post back and let us know if these gaskets actually reduce the noise! I will definitely be a buyer if the claims are true.

I shoulda, coulda, wishedI bought these gaskets! Great idea - first saw these in a mustang mag several months ago...smart idea.
Anyway, black or red RTV would actually be preferred over blue.

Seems 90% of his posts are about selling his gaskets...seems to be the "shifter chaser" (as opposed to an 'ambulance chaser')
