Hey All,
I just reassembled my H151 manual transmission with a tube of Orange FIPG I got at my dealer. I recently used some Black FIPG to do my oil pan and it worked great.
The Orange FIPG was much harder to apply out of the tube than the black (harder to squeeze out) but seemed a decent consistency on the surface. I set the transmission aside and started disassembling my T-case. After 24hrs the Orange FIPG was just as wet as when it went on. Over the following 2-3 days it had gotten a bit more set up but not as cured and rubber like as the black FIPG I've used. Now I'm concerned about using it on the t-case. And concerned the transmission might leak.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm not thrilled about buying another tube of the stuff at dealer prices either.
