Works as expected!
Used this sealant for my transmission pan and it did the job perfectly. It sealed up tight with no leaks and was easy to apply. It takes a little time to cure, but once it sets, it holds strong. Great product to keep on hand for car repairs.

Great alternative to gaskets
Everything i use this product i have great results. Fixed my leak on my 2013 2.4 honda accord coupe with cvt. I battled leaking pan gaskets on 3 separate occasions and was frustrated because the fluid alone to redo the job is over 50$ this stuff solved my problem wish I had of tried it sooner .Set up in the cold and in 24hrs was back up and running

Works great for Tremec TKX running Dex3 fluid
Found and used specific sealant on the front bearing retainer of our new (and leaky) Tremec TKX transmission. I let it sit for 36 hours before using the car, and have enjoyed a leak-free experience ever since.

Clean the surfaces using a brake clean degreaser. Good prep work is what you need to get it to work.
I used it on the transmission pan after I cleaned it of the old gasket sealer with a spray can of gasket remover. I applied the sealer to the pan and around the bolt holes. The only problem I had was it was near impossible to get it out of the tube. I don’t know if the tube was old or if had gone bad. I purchased it in October 2018 and used it March 4, 2019. I have about half a tube left but I don’t think it will stay for any useful purpose. It’s a gray/black color. I will see if it holds up and keeps a seal. It’s only been since Sunday when I finished it up so it’s on day four and no leak that I can see. I used the rubber gasket as well and torqued the bolts to 9 foot pounds. That is plenty for a transmission pan on a Kia Automatic Transmission. I put the gasket sealer down on the pan with a light solid bead and around the pan bolt holes and then I set the rubber gasket on top of the gasket sealer on the pan. I hand tightened the bolts in a cross cross pattern then gave the pan an hour set up to Torque at 9 foot pounds and then let sit 24 hours before filling up with transmission fluid.

Seems to be really good stuff!
This is some good stuff, but the packaging sucks and that plastic tip doesn't screw on tight so u end up just throwing it away or I did. So I had a transmission leak on the outside of my pan. It says let dry for 24 hours, but I could only wait 6 before towing for 1 hour. After I got to my destination I noticed I missed a spot but hadn't leaked where I had previously put it so I put some on that other spot and immediately drove without letting it dry 1 hour towing back home. I got home and looked expecting that I would see some leaking given I didn't let it dry fully and nope not a drop! Nothing else I tried and I tried many things was working for this use case, but this stuff did. It reminds me of JB Weld, but gasket maker lol

Used to seal upper transmission housing cover on 2017 Grand Caravan with a 62TE automatic. Used without gasket, left 24 hours before filing and running as directed by the instructions. no evidence of leaks after two weeks.

Make sure to follow instructions as this sealant expands when drying. This gave me a perfect seal on the first try.

Me lo recomendaron porque es un producto que ya tiene mucho tiempo en el mercado, hasta el momento no he percibido fugas en el área en el que se aplicó.
