New Transmission Costs

[N7turbo]

There can't be anything wrong with RTV if that is that Mazda uses and calls for.

RTV seals, it's labor intensive to clean. It all has to be scrapped each time the trans is serviced. Mazda tried to seal it for life. LOL

IF the RTV is removed, an important step, then a gasket will work. I'll be cussing a scraping at the 30K mi mark and installing a gasket.

"If Mazda uses it" I'd still be using those boat anchor wheels, crap tires, struts, springs, sway bars, bushings and dusting/squeaking front brake pads....

BUT for those who want to go by the BOOK, RTV is your friend....

I like the stock struts on my Mazda 6! The rears are still original and work great!
