Topic: 1985 4runner Auto to Manual transmission swap

[Pillowpants808]

I am in the middle of an auto to manual trans swap on my 1985 4runner. I have most if not all of the parts. I ended up buying a w56b trans and a top shift transfer case separately. I bought the gasket that goes in between the 2. Do I assemble the trans and transfer case with the gasket dry or is there a sealer I use along with the gasket? Also should I replace anything while the trans and transfer case are apart like the output seal? Any help would be appreciated!🙏🏼🤙🏽

ive had good luck with red permatex. i would replace seals but make sure they are quality.

edit: the red permatex is the high temp.

So you used red permatex along with the gasket?

This is what I've always used, with the paper gasket. https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/gasket-sealants/permatex-aviation-form-a-gasket-no-3-sealant-liquid-4-oz/
