hey guys.. got my new shiftin system. its for a 6 speed tranny in my 95..

i was reading through the instructions (ya i figured id try it out one of these days.. dont wanna go n mess somethin in that t56) and it says to:

"Remove all traces of the original sealer from the shifter mounting surface. Put new RTV Sealer on the top surface of the transmission and install the B&M Short throw shifter."

1. what is RTV sealer.
2. why didnt it come with it.
3. do i really need to replace it.
4. can i grab it at any local autoparts store if really necessary

Thanks in advances guys!

 

please..anyone know?

 

RTV is a silicone based sealer that is common at any parts store. I usually use the black stuff. Be carefully not to scrap the old sealer into the tranny.

 

not the same shifter, but this might help also

i figure most shifters are the same anyways, a few minor differences, but all perform the job
