I never thought about using the original reusable gasket. I'll probably try that soon.

However, instead of buying ing the original pan again, could I get the other I listed above while using the gasket you listed? To me, the drain plug makes it worth it.

Just a thought.

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the OD pan was deeper than the old 904 pan though the gaskets were the same.

I looked up a gasket for an old 88 Ram p/u with a A-999 transmission. The gasket changed to the reusable gasket and bolts listed above. So I would speculate that it would work.

Also the summit product is a Mopar Performance part. New Mopar number is P4007886AB found on page 119 in the 2011 performance catalog. List $64.95. I am not sure the performance gasket is reusable or not. You can contact the performance hotline at 888-528-4364 to try to find out.
