I've built thousands of transmissions, ONLY use cork, and have NEVER had a leak from the pan gasket........Like already mentioned, the pan rail needs to be flat and then tighten correctly.....

with this however one of the big pluses with the new reusable gaskets is you can use it over and over and over for years to come try that with a cork or fiber gasket.




dust .... but I have had ONE cork gasket on mine since the late 70's .... I don't know how many times the pan has been off ....maybe 20? times.

My pan stays on until something's wrong..... which shouldn't be very often.........Then it gets a new gasket when I buy an overhaul kit.....

I've got a '68 Roadrunner that I bought in 1987......I built the trans then, I've raced the crap out of it every year and the pan has never been off.........still has the same fluid in it that I put in it back then.......

sorry I have been in the transmission buisness 25 years and I have a real hard time believing that at all I have seen what a cork gasket looks like after 1-2 years and you couldn't pay me enough money to reuse 1 the fiber gaskets are 10 times better than the cork and I wouldn't reuse 1 of those after any time but to each there own
