Ditto... Those things are awesome. Should be a stocking item at any dealership if you got one locally.
Likewise, but that said, I'm using mine with a cast aluminum pan with a thick flange. Dry as a bone on the outside, after a couple of on/off cycles.

also be sure it is the pan gasket leaking.
I once thought that was what I was chasing down, went through 3 gaskets, 2 pans and thought it was still leaking, turned out to be the shaft seal.
others have seen it be the 0 ring at the dipstick tube.
don't waste a lot of time and money on the pan if you have not checked above it yet.
Same here(after 2 different pans & installing reusable gasket),it was the shaft seal,D

Gravity is a funny thing , what may APPEAR to be the pan gasket leaking could be coming from a source above the pan ... and there are a few ... cooler line fittings , dipstick tube , shift shaft seals ...
Also if he has a chrome pan and has not removed the chrome from the gasket flange he is never going to get it to seal short of welding the pan to the trans.

I'd guess you have a leak other than the pan gasket,as either the cork or rubber pan gasket is more than enough to seal.

Just went thru this on a non mopar. It was a rebuilt trans, so everything was clean and easier to see leaks. After going thru 3 gaskets I ended up doubling up the gasket and it’s now dry as a bone.
