No thanks, I'll either do it late tonight or get up early and do it in the am. I'd rather do it right. OF course unless anyone in here has RTV'd their transmission pans in a upped pressured car.

Upped control pressure should not pressurize the trans case, just the control main used for your hydraulic circuits.
Ultra grey would work fine if it was allowed to be cured, but I think the trans does use a gasket from the factory.
I use full main pressure after 9 psi of boost, but I am using a gasket.

New Evo's don't even use oil pan gaskets, its all RTV...but I am not sure the pressure seen there vs a trans one.

The only way the transmission pan will see pressure is if the breather is plugged while the fluid heats up.

If I see RTV on that pan I'm gonna kick you. Buy a filter it comes with a gasket.

I used black oil resistant RTV on both of my transmission pans with no problems. None of my local parts stores ever had gaskets in stock.

Lol you guys are silly. RTV seals better than a gasket IMO.

Comes from the factory with a gasket, should remain a gasket.
