Rubber Trans pan gasket

[GrndNatnl]

Anyone have a part number for, or know where I can find either a full rubber trans pan gasket? (For stock pan)

Or at least a rubber-inpregnated cork gasket. My current cork gasket is seeping pretty much all around. I'm not interested in putting yet another cork gasket in there, only so it can seep again in a few weeks.

I know it is not recommended to use silicone on the pan gasket, but i have been using it with great sucess for years with the cork gasket. Key is to apply a very thin coat to one side of gasket and apply to pan and let it dry (bonding the gasket to the pan). Then apply a thin coat to the up side and let it skin over and then install. Use the factory torque on bolts and it will not leak or do damage to the trans.

Yeah, I've done that on my other car before. It's just that you're not supposed to put a big bead of silicone on it. I use my fingers and thin it out on the outside edge of the pan. I think if the cork is still crappy enough, it'll seep through anyway though.

If no one has a gasket, any prefrence between filter/gasket kits? Fram, ATP, Wix? I was thinking of ordering the ATP at work. I used a Fram kit on my daily beater, and have yet to have a problem, but the pan isnt that big either.

No silicone needed...

or recommened. Try TCI's "Racing filter and gasket" set it has the good gasket or Bruce at PTS has them too.
