Rear structure

What the real shame is here, is that these shops know that when that transmission comes off, that rear structure is almost 100% guaranteed to leak when that truck leaves the shop. I swear they do this on purpose. Everyone I know that has had clutch work and not done the rear structure seal is back in the shop in short order to have it done. Criminal.

Agreed, but part of this is also on Cummins.
The piss poor quality of the gasket doesn't help. I mean seriously, a ~1/8" wide rubber seal along a >1/2" wide steel gasket? No wonder it doesn't hold!
That's why I took Mr Hagg's advise and applied a liberal coating of anerobic gel to the gasket when I did mine. I assure you that the gel will do more than that pissant rubber strip to ensure a long lasting seal.
