jamesmark Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 After getting this replaced at the sump plug was loose and thread was stipped, it is leaking again from the seal. Place that fitted the new sump used sealent (black in colour) to seal it, now this has not worked is there a gasket for the sump? Any part number for it available? Or what is the best way to seal it?

Kranz Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Loctite 5900/5910 RTV sealant. Seals everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Cheers mate, is there a gasket option though? Or was it sealed withe sealent when it was built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'd have thought it would be a bead of RTV sealant on the mating flange when built in the factory. Check with someone who has access to the parts system though. You can get small tubes of this stuff. Most bearing stockists stock it. Big tube here http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=134871&RelType=2 This will last you years as long as you cap it off so it doesn't set. Hundreds of uses around the home & garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 use a bead of rtv as said but let it skin off for about 30 mins before refitting the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 AFAIK Toyota never used, nor made a gasket for the auto box sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 It is sealant that is used. I had to change the sump on my n/a manual and i used PLENTY of good sump sealer yet it still leaks. A complete knightmare of a job aswel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Sorry to bump an old thread, but the search threw this up as the most relevant topic. I've a leak from my auto-box sump, I was looking for a part number for the gasket but gather from Chris' post that it doesn't exist and some gasket seal should do the job. Does anyone know if there's a filter in the sump that I should be changing while I'm at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) The fluid is filtered mostly by magnets in the sump, clean them and the filter gauze if required. A good bead of gasket silicone is all it needs. Edited August 11, 2011 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) If you click around in the Drive-train Hybrid section of 'my garage' you will find links to several pics and info that might help.

David P Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Should you choose to carefully remove and wash the filter, during reassembly do not apply sealant, just use clean gasket that normally will remain intact and stuck to either filter or valve body.

jim Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've got a problem There was a gasket when the pan was taken off, it crumbled when it was removed. The garage used rtv and left it for a good while before putting it back on. It's pissing out, the mechanic said that there was a small ridge to locate the gasket on to and because of this rather than a totally flat surface the sealant won't work. Mine's a facelift auto if that makes any difference. Would anyone be able to check the catalogue please to see if a gasket is listed? (autobox sump gasket) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 there is a filter,worth replacing for the £30ish i think my last one was, your mechanic talking rubbish.silcone rtv nice thick bead on a very well cleaned sump and spotless grease free mating surface on the box.as i said previosly in this thread left to skin over wont leak if done properly.ive done this many times and never had a leak hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Not saying its the norm but my Aristo auto had a nice juicy cork gasket when I serviced it. As Si says, if the srfaces are prepared properly then RTV is sound. There is no pressure in an auto box sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 For the benefit of future searches in case anyone else has a similar issue: A few attempts to seal the sump with RTV failed, and even though a gasket is not listed there was definitely a cork gasket there when the sump pan was removed. It's possible that the gasket was fitted by a previous owner, however I bought my Supra 5 years ago with around 50k miles on it so I wouldn't have thought the sump would have been removed previously. To solve the problem, my mechanic was able to get a roll of cork gasket from my local motor factors, placed the sump pan on it and drew round it, cut it out and then cut out the centre, and used a hole punch to make holes for the bolts. No more leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
