Re: [MBZ] W123 transmission pan bolts torque
No sealant. There is a rubber seal that is used that seals perfectly without sealant. The pan has places formed into the edges that make it seal properly and will distort if you overtighten. A common misstep by many, which causes the pan to leak. -D > On Jul 6, 2021, at 11:36 AM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > Do you normally use some form of sealant on the pan to transmission surfaces > as well?

Re: [MBZ] W123 transmission pan bolts torque
Do you normally use some form of sealant on the pan to transmission surfaces as well? Or locktite? 7 or 8 Nm sounds sort of like not much more than finger tight.
