Re: Fordomatic
You can use but I don't recommend. If you have to use just a very thin film and keep away from inside edge. If you need to use a sealer there are other good products such a Right Stuff made by Permatex although a little pricey. Coppercoat would be a good product if you are trying to keep gasket in place while installing the pan. You do not want to chance any silicone getting into the trans. Right Stuff would make a good gasket.

Re: Fordomatic
Parts stores used to have rolls of plain gasket material so you can make your own. Silicon can be made to work but the stuff is getting to be more pricey than a gasket would be these days. It would take a lot of silicon material on some pans depending on how they are formed.

Re: Fordomatic
Cheapest, quickest, simplest, and most leak-free solution is to simply go to a parts store or on line and buy the right ready-made gasket.
