New Transmission Costs

[SparkYellow]

Just want to add that RTV removal is manageable with the right tools. A plastic scraper/blade will remove the thick residues, mostly on the pan, and a piece of steel wool will scrub off the base layer pretty easily. Checking the time stamp on my pics, it took less than two hours to get the mating surfaces ready.

Getting the residue off the transmission was quick when using a lift. It would be a difference experience if the car is on jack stands.

Haven't found a gasket that is confirmed to fit right, and I don't have the luxury to check and retorque freely.

Nice work. I resorted to using Motorcraft RTV remover to help soften that gunk up some.
