Do you have to use a reuseable gasket on the transmission pan?
Fullhouseyes
depends......... you have to use some kind of gasket on them if they come with one. cork gaskets are fine but peopel tend to overtweak them and cause leaks rubber is fine but you can over tighten them and cut a hole and there are composite gaskets........ I have reused the same gasket but it depends on the what shape it came off the tranny....... gaskets aren'tt that expensive so if you have a doubt, buy a new one. Avoid leaks by always using a new gasket.

Transmission pan gasket leaking on 2000 Chevy Silverado?
Remove the pan and inspect for damage. Straighten or repair pan if possible, if not, purchase a new pan. Also purchase a new gasket and filter. Install new gasket dry. Do not use any sealant on new gasket. You don't want any sealer goo getting into the transmission. A quality gasket and a straight pan installed correctly doesn't require any sealant. Do not over tighten pan bolts. Refill with correct ATF.

You can purchase a transmission filter kit from your local auto parts store. The kit will comes with the filter, pan gasket and seal for the drain (if equipped). Keep in mind you will not be able to drain all the ATF out of the transmission yourself. You will probably drain 4 to 5 qts out of the 12 qts the transmission holds.
