<VV> Trans leak

[Harry Yarnell]

I am ASSUMING this is a four speed (you didn't say), but I doubt using a 
sealer is going to fix anything. Is it the right gasket? You said the car 
was a '66, so does BOTH the trans and diff have the six mounting bolts; not 
four ('65)?
I'm not sure, but I don't think you can install the gasket wrong. Can you?
