Hi Phil,
I removed the tranny fluid pan again today and realized I had destroyed the rubber gasket. I had used gasket sealer and 44 inch pounds and it smashed the gasket to pieces. I went to get another at autozone and the same maker Fel-Pro and same box with same part number had a non-rubber gasket in it...go figure. I installed without gasket maker and only tightened the 14 bolts finger tight using the 10mm socket and an extension without using the the ratchet. Then added the ratchet for about a 1/5 turn on each bolt. Filled her with tranny fluid and she seems to be holding her fluid. I'll report back tomorrow after a drive.
