Anyone ever thought of cutting a groove in the perimeter of the tailhousing shifter mount spot and using something similar to a valve cover gasket there?

I pull my transmission a lot. I gotta do it again to replace my pilot bearing (long story, early Eagle crank, they sent me a new / oversize one for free tho ).

Anyhow, the part I dislike the most is cleaning my shifter (over and over) and slathering it with Permatex Ultra Black (over and over). A neoprene gasket would make life much simpler there.

Anyone?

(yes, the LS1 has spoiled me )

I think that would be alot of trouble to solve (imo) a non-problem. There are stripper solvents( spray can) that make the clean-up you are talking about very easy.

FWIW, the GTO comes with a gasket for the shifter/trans. Might try that.

Why not groove the shifter base? My GMM Ripshift has that and its great. No RTV and seals perfect.

I pull the trans in our 02 WS.6 out, with the shifter still attached. I pull the stick off (Stock Hurst shifter) and just drop it down just enough to clear the floor pan.

The GTO gasket sounds interesting. Might look in to it.

I've tried pulling / installing my trans with the Pro 5.0 stick removed, shifter on. No joy. Won't clear.
