[Shotimes] RTV on ATX pan gasket?

[Robert M.]

The main reason I have used RTV was mainly to hold the gasket in place while you were putting it on, so it will not get into the inside of the pan. You all know how those gaskets come out of the box!! If you are using the metal/rubber gasket, there should be no need in putting on RTV, IMO.

I had my tranny pan off, not much in there exciting. I was expecting to see 
gears and valve bodies etc etc.. anyways.. I reinstalled a new cork gasket.. 
No leaks so far been a year.
