i wasn't sure which thread sealer to use, the red or blue, on the converter bolts. any suggestions would be great.

DO NOT USE RED LOKTITE, you will NEVER get the bolts out for any type of repair in the future.

I would go with the blue.

BUMP as I am installing mine today as well too after finally getting the correct spacers/bolts.

I'd feel safe with red, but probably have to heat the damn things to take the TC back off...

Any advice from the tranny builders on what they use?

I always use the red and torque the bolts to spec. Never had a problem removing them. Last thing you want is the converter bolts loosening up.

I always use red, never have a problem getting them back out.
I also clean them, and spray them off with brake cleaner before applying the loctite.

I've never used loctite on the bolts.

my converter came with new bolts and i believe they had the loctite already dried on the threads.

This is not true. I always used the red on my a4 Z28 never had any problems. I also use red on my torque arm bolts, which still back themselves out over time.

I always use red locktite on them. Just have to use a bigger wrench to get them off than you did to put them on.
