Ford Repair: Trans to adapter leak, rtv sealant, transmission builder

Question
I just recently had my C-4 rebuilt on my '74 Bronco and now have a leak between the adapter and the transmission. The transmission shop is reputable and has attempted to remedy the problem. The gasket between the adapter and trans, which is very thin, was installed dry with no sealant. This is the way Ford did these originally the shop owner said. His concern using sealant was that it can get into the govenor at the rear of the trans.
To his credit, his shop went back in and supposedly installed a new gasket using RTV. It appears the RTV sealant was used only on the bottom portion of the gasket.
I still have a leak at the bottom section, although not nearly as bad as before. The leak does not appear to be comming from above this area.The fluid finds its way out and eventually lightly coats the underside with some drips.
Any opinion on this?

I did not have this leak before the rebuild.

Thanks

Answer
Mr. Hanks,

I sounds like the surfaces where the adaptor meets with the transmission might be warped. You might want to try using 2 gaskets put together to stop the leak. Putting sealant in there is not recommended by Ford, however I have seen people do it and have success with out getting anything in the govenor but if you do that it will void any responsibility of your transmission builder. I hope that his helps and if you need further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me and I apologize for my tardy response. Good luck.
