Hi all

Thanks to much help from this list I was able to diagnosis the problem with=
 my overdrive.  It turned out that the overdrive solenoid had become non fu=
nctional.  Since I already had the transmission tunnel off and since the ov=
erdrive has not worked properly for over twenty years I decided to get a ne=
w rebuilt overdrive. The only question I now have is, how is everyone deali=
ng with the gasket between the overdrive and the tranny and the gasket for =
the cover over the solenoid mechanism.  I haven't done any major work on th=
e engine since the early 90's when I rebuilt both the engine and the tranny=
, and do not remember how I dealt with the paper gaskets. I've heard that p=
ermetex is good, but there are different types of permatex. So what do most=
 of you use? And how do you use it.  BTW I was able to get 30 weight non de=
tergent oil at my local advanced auto parts store, so that problem is taken=
 care of.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Len Berkowitz
