[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 482058, member: 3278"] [size=5]In this forum we do not promote the use of any RTV when repairing engines. Parts for that engine are super reasonable. On the pump take a look at the lower wear plate and take a look at the pump housing where the impeller rides. If they are scratched up then get a complete pump kit. Always buy OEM as the parts fit (as opposed to other aftermarket parts) and the kits are complete. On the gearcase the probable cause is the shift-rod O-ring. No matter how hard you try you will never seal that with silicone. It has to be replaced along with the "spagetti seal" and whatever else may be leaking. So............... Do it once and do it right!
