I am installing an A500 OD in my 77 shortbed and i have a new rubber gasket already. Is cork worth buying? thanks!

You can find them at a reasonable price, even from the dealer. They are worth it. My 904 never leaked a drop, even with no sealant. I had it off later to adjust the bands, reused it and still no leaks. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

It solved my leak problems after using the new style pan gasket on a 727 that leaked. Probably the trans surface but the RTV solved it. No Stock
