Default To seal or not?

I'm getting ready to replace the cork gasket between my hydro and tranny. 1st time I used a factory gasket. It seemed to have double sided clear tape on it that was old. It leaked. Second time I used some cork gasket material I had that was a little too thick and sealed it with silicone. It leaked. I now have some of the proper thickness quality cork gasket material and will cut my own. Should I seal it? With what? Normally over the years I have wiped a thin layer of #2 form-a-gasket on most gaskets as a sealer. It normally works pretty well. I don't use cork gaskets often except for fuel tanks. I've been told to install cork dry so it can swell like a wine cork. Opinions?

I don`t use cork gaskets anymore. I use neoprene and cut out a replacement. I don`t have issues with them leaking. my .02

When I'm reassembling componets in a "prone to leak" area, I use HYLOMAR sealant. It ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I have replaced several with cork and #2, not a leak one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
