I'd be a little wary of sealant flaking off and plugging up something important. I'm not so sure sealant would stick too well on this thing. Additionally, you'd have to make sure the strainer were super-clean and degreased, too, before even thinking of putting any goo on it. Is the transmission filter kit NLA? A quick search is showing me there isn't a NAPA or Fram part number anymore. Is there a cross-application that works? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
