I am removing the cover from over the transmission and transfer case inside my 95 YJ. I don't know the proper name for it, sorry. There are 2 covers a smaller one and larger one around the 2 shifter levers. When I lift up on them there seems to be a gasket or sealant between the covers and the floor panel. Can out the sealant material? Can it be replaced with RTV, another sealant, or is a gasket the right way to go, and if so where can I find one. I want to be sure to seal this correctly as I don't want to let water in there.
Thanks
Bill

that sealant is not for water, is so you don't get fumes inside. You can use RTV but that will make it hard to take off, there is a body panel sealer just like that one there that comes in strips (round or even flat i think) and you can just add where you're missing it or replace the whole thing.

At the hardware store you can buy some weather stripping that is made for sealing a canopy on a pick up bed. It's sticky on one side only. Or something simular.

RTV or even clear silicone will work fine.

I like the non hardening stuff, I've had mine off numerous times and its still the original sealer...

Thank you all. One of my favorite things about this forum is getting many solutions to the same problem. It makes it best to figure out what will work for each individual in their particular situation.
