seabee1950 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 First I had just rebuilt my 218 and set it in the car hooked up to the trans and got it started, after a while I started seeing oil on the floor, hum thinking the new rear main was leaking, bummer right so I let that go for now but mind you the trans has been out for a few years and I can't get it to shift into low or reverse , so I pulled it out and the gear was stuck with light rust on the slide so I worked to get it freed and then before I reinstalled it I was reading about there needing to be a gasket between the bell and the Trans, so no more leak any longer and all is good in Mopar Land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15-D24 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Think we already have one uploaded. If you could download it and see if it is same as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etzmolch Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Can anyone tell me the thickness of this gasket? Thanks, Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15-D24 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Really thin, not much more than a sheet of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Next trip to the grocery ask for paper not plastic. The paper bag works great to make this gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etzmolch Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 After a engine change I had a noise from my old transmission which wasn't there before. The only difference was to put this seal (approx. .03) in between. Today I added additional shims and the noise gone. So my thinking was maybe this gasket is really thick(.08 or more). There must be a a difference between the bell housing lengths from a '49s to a '50s engine. Both are fluid drives and I used the bell housing came with the '49s.

greg g Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 The one on my car is about 2x time thicker than cereal box card board. The one I got to do my OD swap is like grocery bag thickness. I reused the thicker one. Unless your rear main seal has all but given up, chances are a leak at that point is transmission lube not motor oil. Or it could be both. Check your trans for level as well as your dipstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
