transmission fluid
We bought our '05 late 2018 with 53k miles & have put another 12k on to this point. We're not having any specific issues, but i was thinking about changing the transmission fluid & filter soon. From outside it looks like the pan was last sealed with black RTV silicone - does that suggest that the pan was likely previously removed? I'm guessing that the original assembly would have been with a rubber gasket and that no excess material would be showing outside the edges of the pan...

according to the folks @ BobIsTheOilGuy,
also, f.y.i. - the manual calls for "service fill" of 4.0 qt, but ours drained out 5 full qt when i dropped the pan to replace the filter - so be prepared with more than 1 gal to refill if you do this job. 5 qt refill brought it right back up to the proper level on the dipstick as well, of course.
"trans pan was sealed with RTV from the factory. Dont remember if the original RTV was black but the 4 speeds never had a factory pan gasket. The silicone is visible around the edges on one that has never been open"
"it didn't come from the factory with a real gasket, only RTV"
