Aluminum pan and rear cover...

I just got the Trick Flow rear end cover with the studs for the bearing caps, and a new finned aluminum deep trans pan. Gonna hopefully put it this weekend, any tips from you guys? It looks pretty straightforward but just wanted to check for anything you may have encountered when doing yours(clearancing etc.). And what do you use to hold the pan gasket in place, I don't wanna silicone it, don't they make a spray to hold it (I think?). Thanks

Make sure you have the proper 12 point socket for the bolts that come in the kit. 1/4 inch drive is best because of limited clearance at the back of the transmission. I just installed both of the same and was really happy with the fit and the quality, especially for the price. The pan doesn't come with a filter so make sure you get a fresh one from the parts store before you get started.

I would like to see some pics of these if you can post them? Also, when the job is done.
