AT Pan gasket retorque-able?
Does anyone know if the 5 spd AT Pan gasket is retourque-able or not? My Max is an 04. When I was researching changing out the transmission fluid, I saw several complaints that the aftermarket gaskets tended to leak. I have seen this complaint on other vehicles as well and some vehicles have pan gaskets that can be used a number of times. Even though there is a drain plug on this tranny, I want to clean out the pan of any garbage or gunk that may have collected there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oops.
Damn, I haven't been underneath there yet and didn't realize there wasn't a pan. I feel sheepish. Thanks guys.
Btw, it is okay to retorque some sheet metal gaskets if they were made to. A good example is the pan gasket on my 06 Ford Expedition, which can be retorqued 6 times. As mentioned above, that is assuming they aren't over-torqued. Outside of the automotive industry, I have reused metal gaskets on hydrogen processing equipment in 2000+ psig service. The metal gasket yields and conforms to the mating surfaces when torqued in the proper order and to the correct magnitude.

As for the gasket for that "pan", there isn't one. You use RTV or other similar hi-temp gasket maker to seal it.
