[Healeys] Overdrive install advice needed

[Leonard Berkowitz]

Hi all

Thanks to much help from this list I was able to diagnosis the problem with my overdrive.  It turned out that the overdrive solenoid had become non functional.  Since I already had the transmission tunnel off and since the overdrive has not worked properly for over twenty years I decided to get a new rebuilt overdrive. The only question I now have is, how is everyone dealing with the gasket between the overdrive and the tranny and the gasket for the cover over the solenoid mechanism.  I haven't done any major work on the engine since the early 90's when I rebuilt both the engine and the tranny, and do not remember how I dealt with the paper gaskets. I've heard that permetex is good, but there are different types of permatex. So what do most of you use? And how do you use it.  BTW I was able to get 30 weight non detergent oil at my local advanced auto parts store, so that problem is taken care of.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
