RJ 58 gaskets

Does anyone still make the gaskets for side covers?

I typically make my own... There was someone who did in the past though... they were like $20 or so.

There was a guy selling them on ebay but I don't know if he's still selling or not. They used to pop up every so often but you may need to just make your own.

The only thing I can say is I put gasket sealer on both side of the gaskets... As you probably know Chris the gasket thickness does make a little difference on these trannies... no gasket or to thin of a gasket can possibly cause binding... to thick can cause shaft waking within the case. Now don't get me wrong this isn't a precision machined tranny so to speak but I have had issues in the past during my learning curve days, LOL!
