Normally you let the RTV setup for a while, setup time should be on the tube. I use gaskets instead of RTV whenever possible. The few times I have used it I let it setup for a couple of hours in the sun if possible then install it. I think 30min is the minimum setup time till it skims over and can be installed. Then you can pour in the lube to your hearts content :D
As for the tranny I'd add a quart, check the stick and add as needed, eaiser to add than to over fill and have to remove, remember to prndl the tranny a couple of times after you start it up.
