I just found out that my shifter doesnt have a gasket or silicon seal around it. Is this a problem? I have driven it for atleast 3 months without it. What could happen if I leave it?

Its not super serious that you dont have one, but you should. The gasket acts mainly as a shock absorber. Its not like if its not totally air tight you have a problem because thats not what the gasket is designed for. But you should have one, so I suggest you order one. Its like 10 dollars on the internet, try www.mustangtuning.com or by some high temp rv silicone and make you a gasket. But watch because you dont want any of that to fall into your open tranny.

go to an autopart store and buy the tube. The one that came with my MGW ive seen all over the place. good luck

Hi temp rtv, or a shifter gasket from Cobrabob, one of our sponsers, and I will say that it is a nice gasket.

I recommend buying the gasket for two reasons:

1) It will drastically reduce drive train noise inside the car

2) I RTV'd mine and that sucker is stuck. If you ever decide to sell it or need to remove it, RTV makes it a PITA.
