Transmission case sealer question

Okay so I'm getting ready to put the case halfs back together after the peloquin differential swap and eurotuning 6 speed kit and I'm not finding the sealer recommendation in Bentley. What's an appropriate sealer or do I need to get the official VW sealer?

Loctite gasket maker, permatex ultra grey. Have used both without issue to make a gasket between transmission case halves.

just make sure the two mating surfaces are clean and dry and you'll be fine. Just a thin skin is enough - don't use too much.

If you go to your local Autozone or whatever, Permatex sells a sealant specifically for gear oil. I used it when I put the Quaife in my transmission. As mentioned previously, just a thin film is all you need.

Thats the same stuff I used when i put a Peloquin in mine this past January

an anaerobic gasket sealant is the best thing to use and recommended by VW but Black RTV works and the gear oil type also. http://www.autozone.com/sealants-glues-adhesives-and-tape/gasket-sealant/permatex-anaerobic-gasket-marker/765653_0_0

I went out of my way for the anaerobic vw sealer back in 2001 when I gernaded my G60. Since then I've torn apart 3-4 transmissions with regular ole etc without any issues. The transmissions almost seal without any sealant.

Thanks guys, I ended up going with the Permatex ultra grey and it seems to be a good substitute for the OEM sealer in fact it looks just like the stuff I cleaned off.
