Tranny pan gasket

-
It seems like the folks that want reuseability are the ones who have leaks. Why would anybody want reuseability when gaskets are cheap? A reuseable gasket costs about ten times more than the cheapest gaskets; 7-8 times more than the Duprene non-reuseable. If you're going to be taking your pan off a lot, then buy a cast aluminum pan and use the cheapest gasket you can find, or just silicone. Tin pans leak because they distort; that's it; and then they aren't straightened properly. Steel pans have to be straightened every time they're re-installed. Even the cheapest gasket wouldn't leak if it wasn't for pan distortion.
you just made my point. The pan doesn't distort AT ALL with the reusable gasket. They don't leak at all, and the pan doesn't stick to the trans gasket surface at all. So no prying the pan off, and no scraping old gasket material, or sealer off.. You can do it your way, but I'm sold on the new reusable gaskets.
