Quick question: is there a gasket for the bell housing, or is it even needed?
I am putting the transmission and bell housing back together myself after a botched job by a local mechanic. When the bell housing came out, I can't remember if there were any remains of a gasket, and now I don't see any either on the engine or on the bell housing. I have a gasket set I purchased for my Universal M25XP years ago, but none of them matches or is even big enough for the bell housing. I looked online and in the parts and shop manual, but I don't see anything that answers my question.
Thanks!
I did the job two weeks ago and there was no bell housing gasket on mine (M25xp in 1990 c34). The only gasket I had to worry about was the exhaust flange gasket.
Gaskets are only required when an air/fluid tight seal is needed. The bell housing to engine and BH to transmission require neither. As Kyle said, no gaskets are needed.
Thank you!
I had a hunch that this might be the case, and I appreciate the responses!
No gasket needed.
If you have not changed the damper plate, you need to inspect yours. If the springs are loose it needs to be changed while you have everything apart.
