: I changed the fluid in my Fordomatic
: a
: couple of years ago, and the only
: gasket that I could find was a
: neoprene gasket made by Fel-Pro. It
: was very thin (maybe 1/32") and
: the installation instructions stated
: that it MUST be installed dry, with
: no sealing agents applied. I was
: careful to flatten the gasket
: surface of the pan, and to clean the
: gasket surface of the tranny. Then I
: installed the gasket per the
: instructions and wouldn't you know
: it, the darned thing started leaking
: a few weeks after being installed. I
: tightened the pan bolts again, being
: careful not to over tighten them,
: but the leaking persisted. I had a
: local shop pull the pan and replace
: the gasket again, this time with
: sealing compound on the gasket. So
: far, so good!

Maybe you could try a shop that works on transmissions from vintage cars. The may have some parts on hand.
