Gearing up to do a fluid change on a gearbox with a weepy drain plug that has long had a tendency to get moist, but never to the point of spotting the floor.
Teflon tape had served to keep that at bay, at least until now, so gonna try something different this time, a thread sealant.
I see the high-temp version with PTFE has gotten the nod in the past, but am curious as to whether the regular version would suffice as well?
And as far as application goes, how sensitive is it to residual gear oil (ATF), or needing the "activator" spray?
I can clean the threads on the case as best I can, but it's one of those situations where fluid will still dribble out unless it's left to drain for days, and that's not really a practical thing, or is it a clean room situation. The 24 hour cure time is doable.
