Tranny gasket set for '62 with T86E-1N with Over Drive

62flareside · Post by **62flareside** » March 16, 2011, 10:19 pm

Hoping someone can point me in the direction of a source for a gasket set for my transmission. I found the input and output shaft seals at rockauto.com, but the tranny gasket set says T86G or T86H. Is this still the right gasket set for my T86E-1N tranny?

From Rock Auto:

FEL-PRO Part # TS51352 Manual Transmission Gasket Set
Borg-Warner T86G, T86H 3 Spd. Manual Transmission

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Walt!

Welcome from P'cola. What part of the state are you in?

Sorry I don't have any help for you on the tranny gaskets. Hopefully someone will have the answer.

Great looking truck BTW. I've always had a soft spot for the flaresides.

Lot of stuff shows up on Craigslist including gaskets for overdrives. IF you have no luck there try Joblot Automotive in New york. I recently bought overdrive gaskets from them for the T85N trannies.

Thanks for the replies!

William, I live near Orlando. Wish I had the collection of trucks you have!

Rich, I'll be sure to check out JobLot Automotive.

All, I'd greatly appreciate any other good sources for gaskets.

You need to check out Falcon industries that sell on Evilbay and the people that sell the repro rocker arms for the yblocks there alos. John Mummert of the Yblock site may have some also.

I should have mentioned this before:

In the case you're unable to locate the gaskets precut, it's very easy to cut gaskets to shape using bulk gasket sheet (NAPA, Carquest, McMaster Carr) and a ball peen hammer. Find the right thickness of paper gasket material, lay it on the face you want to seal and tap the hammer (lightly) all the way around the outside of the gasket face. You should be able to tear away the excess material as if it were perforated (or at the very least you cut along the lines you created). Put the piece back on the gasket face to check your work, then use the ball side of the hammer to mark/cut the bolt holes, etc.
