Anyone know if there's a difference in the diff cover gaskets on a 96 GT and a 98 GT? I went to get a new gasket today, and the fool at the parts store said they don't sell them for the 98 GTs, but they had one for a 96 GT, as far as I knew they where the same. Anyone know for sure?

 

8.8 gasket is the same...Heck,I threw mine awayLOL......I use ultra blue RTV sealant....thats all thats needed...just need to make sure its very clean...cover and rear....

 

Cool thanks for the help, maybe I'll just do that then. Thanks 8banger

 

No prob....Also..I like to lay a beadaround on the cover(even across the bolt holes)and let it sit for around 3 to 5 mintues (skins up) and then stick to the rear...Laters

 

Deflay a bead of rtv gasket sealer on there the gaskets are worthless in mo..

 

Yup, no gasket used here! Just don't glob it on, because it will shred up and get up into your axle housings and stay ther potentially causing a seal leak leter on! Just a thin bead will do the trick. I also dabbed some on my bolts as well that way it seal up around the bolt holes a lil bit better and holds the bolts on like thread locker!

 

Cool thanks guys for all the info, learned alot,
