transmission pan gasket

I've searched through the forums and on the write up in project jk, but I can't seem to find whether there was a gasket used in the write up or if the old one was reused or a new one, as there was none listed.

Welcome to Wayalife.
Step 17 in the 42rle write up. Can't tell from your profile or question if that is what you have though.

So, no gasket? Has anyone tried the lube locker gasket?

I have been using the lube locker on my tranny pan for 6 years. Works awesome.

Yeah, my plan was to pump as much fluid out as I can before dropping the pan. Hopefully less mess. Then use the Lube Locker gasket.

I've read mixed reviews on lubelockers. Maybe it's better on the trans than the diff. I used Right Stuff 1 minute rtv on mine. Be careful not to overfill it with fluid. I got confused by the weird process of checking the fluid level, went way to far over, and boiled a bunch back out of the tube and had a lot of slipping issues until I pumped 3/4 of a quart back out.
