Topic: Third member seal question

[oddball]

Is there a seal that goes between the third member and housing? My trusty FSM doesn't show any, also what the hell is anaerobic sealant?

Yes there is a gasket, but you can use grey rtv silacone.

Im curious about this anaerobic sealer its supposed to be a liquid kind of like thread locker, its made by permatex and good for joining parts such as third members but its not resistant to gas

Oh just put the 3rd on, add oil and then drive it.

Thought about it.

anaerobic sealer is a very good though semi expensive sealer that bonds in the ABSENCE of oxygen (air) hence the name ANaerobic. basically, you can put a bead on something and it will never set up till you bolt 'er together. a tube at NAPA usually goes for about 12 bucks...but ultra gray or ultra black will work very well for this.
