I am getting ready to do some kind of auto tranny fluid change this weekend. I am not sure if I will be doing the flush but I do want to remove the pan to clean it. I read in the sticky that it is recommended that the bolts be replaced but is it pretty much a consensus among those who have done this that I can just buy some thread sealant from Autozone and have everything work out fine? This is of course assuming that my bolts are not over torqued from the factory.

 

Sure, you can do that.


I was bitter in that thread because I could tell that 1/2 of my bolts were overtorqued from the factory.
