I went ahead and ordered the factory gasket. This time I said F' it. I mean yeah, 32$ for the speedo gear oring and tranny pan gasket is kinda crazy but at least I can have a little confidence if this leaks that im the problem and not the 5$ gasket. Also the amount of time invested totally sucks.

Im not sure about the warped pan. dealing with previous owner bullshit sucks but just the way it goes I guess. was told the tranny was replaced or serviced or something 20k miles ago but without paperwork its hard to believe anything.
