- What's the worst that could happen?
I'm just changing out the trans fluid and filter and the pan gasket that came with the kit is rubber (or something resembling rubber). It was all tangled up in the packaging and as a result does not lay flat - which I am assuming will make it difficult to stay/hold in place when I get to the part about replacing the pan. I have it laying in the sun but so far it doesn't seem to be flattening out.
My question is would is be a no-no to put some dabs of gasket seal on the gasket to hold it down while I install the pan?
I've not done this job before and it's pretty simple - I just want it to continue to be that. I'll attempt ot install it without the sealer - maybe it won't be as bad as I am imagining. Everything is now really clean. I'm going to repaint the bottom of the pan before I re-install.
