Not quite there yet, but, the gasket that goes between the bell housing and the gearbox - does it go on dry or do I need sealant?
thanks all

Also both components being cast iron a gasket between would prevent rusting and seizing together, cast iron doesn't take kindly to being heated or hammered to get items apart.
