RE: {Chrysler 300} Transmission Pan Gasket

I would think a cork gasket is better than rubber, as rubber would buckle when/if overtightened.

For best results follow Don Verity's advice should it appear. Otherwise remove pan, carefully clean both mating surfaces. Put a straight edge across the pan mounting flanges to be sure they are straight and not deformed from previous overtightening. If deformed tap them straight. I avoid RTV or any sealant near the valve body of an automatic. Wipe both surfaces of the gasket with clean ATF and reattach. Do not overtighten.

Good Afternoon Everyone:
I need to change the transmission pan gasket on my F (Virgil).
Would you recommend any type of gasket seal on the gasket when I put it on or just use the rubberized gasket alone.
Thanks.
Al Stauder
