Use the same 150 in. lb. torque for the new style gasket.

I know you said it was from the pan, but there is a rod in the back of the trans body that the servo arm pivots on, I had a leak there and it took me while to figure it out, as well as the usual suspects, dipstick seal and speedo pinion and kickdown/selector lever O-ring leaks.

If it is chrome sand off the chrome on the lip and use the rubber composite gasket with the gray permatex. I thought my gasket was leaking at one corner and then my little light bulb lite up and noticed it was my dipstick o-ring that was leaking.
What he said , if the pan is chrome sand the chrome off the gasket rail or you'll never get it to stop.
I chased a trans leak on my truck for 2 years , turns out it was the fittings for the cooler line threads into the trans case .
Running your hand on the case is not going to find the leak , clean the trans, run it and then put baby powder on it, you'll find the leak.

are you using anything besides the gasket to help seal it? I always use weatherstriping glue to attach gasket to pan and then right stuff on gasket and never have a problems with aftermarket pans

Well, what the heck is your secret. Cork didn't work for me.
NO real secret ...other than a dead straight and flat pan rail. AND not OVERtorquing the bolts. CORK has always WERKED furr me ....
I also like the cast alum pan ... those pan-rails are always dead-straight ....

You were sooooo right. It was coming from somewhere other than the pan gasket. It was seeping around the pivot pin. I just didn't want to believe it, 'cause I just spent $450.00 bucks having the tranny rebuilt. I crawled under the car last nite, stayed there for about 30 minutes to look for leaks. And there it was........seeping around the pivot pin. I was relieved to find the leak........then mad as heck that the tranny guy either overlooked or just neglected to replace this 10 cent o ring. Thanks alot Alan Willis, with Willis Transmissions in Owensboro, KY. I appreciate for all the extra work you caused me.

makes you wonder how much other stuff he overlooked,did not R&R and replace parts
Not overlooked but not replaced to increase the bottom line , the trans will live past the warranty period .
jack up the rear of the car , clean the area real good , dry it and smear it with a good RTV...
