Three Bond 1105 liquid gasket
Hello,
I was hoping to change my '05 STi rear differential fluid this weekend, but didn't realize that I needed Three Bond 1105 until just now. Does anyone happen to know of a place to purchase it locally, or perhaps have a tube to sell?
I've tried the local dealers, but they either tell me that it's not required to change the rear differential fluid, or that it's a special order item that'll take some time to obtain.
Thanks much for any info.

dont know anywhere local to buy it -- i ordered my rear diff fluid from www.subarugenuineparts.com
When you remove/install the temp sensor, make sure you use the larger outer bolt rather than the temp sensor itself -- they're easy to break.

Huh, interesting. I haven't added the Three Bond when I change my differential fluid and I haven't noticed any leaks, either.

And make sure you use Subaru LSD oil.

The threaded fill and drain plugs are what come on the '05 Sti, right? Sorry for the ignorance, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks. Given that no one else has had problems when not using the liquid gasket, I figure I may go ahead and give this a shot without it.
FWIW, I did some searching and it appears that 3M T-3 silicone (black) #08670 is a substitute for Three Bond 1105, but naturally I couldn't find that locally, either.
