JODIE -- IT'S A MESSY JOB & A MAJOR PITA. DON'T SCRIMP ON THE GASKET. GET A GOOD THICK CORK ONE (NOT THE THIN PAPER TYPE). I USSUALLY GET MINE FROM A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY BUY THEM IN BULK & GET THE GOOD ONES. IF IT'S TWISTED OR NOT FLAT, A GOOD IRONING WILL MAKE IT FLAT AGAIN. I NEVER EVER PUT SILICONE ON THEM. JUST MAKE SURE THE TRANNY SURFACE & THE PAN SURFACE ARE GOOD & CLEAN. (I LIKE TO WIPE EM DOWN WITH LAQUER THINNER) BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE PAN AS THEY WARP REALLY EASILY & TIGHTEN THEM ALL UP A LITTLE AT A TIME. I FIND THAT A 1/4" RATCHETT OR EVEN A NUT DRIVER SUPPLIES ALL THE TORQUE NEEDED.  JOHN
