use cereal box for gasket?
hey guys i just bought a pro 5.0 shifter and i was reading some threads about people not liking the fact of using rtv to seal the new shifter to the trans..so i was thinking do you think cutting a cereal box for a gasket would work fine and help reduce the noise from the shifter?

I dont know about noise reduction, but it would seal it up, far as fluid leaking out. I've used that method on several hydraulic applications at work...Only as a last resort those,lol. Cracker boxes work too

wow never heard of cereal boxes, don't see why it wouldn't seal that up though, I don't think a lot of fluid makes it's way up there. Make a run to an auto parts store though, I found a gasket material set at advance for pretty cheap. Has 4 sheets of different materials, rubber, rubber/somethin, cork, and I can't remember, but it's helped me a crapload for numerous things!
