What do you guys use for an auto tranny gasket?

Hey guys!

I'm going to drop the tranny pan on my 98 tacoma and clean the filter and magnet in the pan. Question for you........ What do you guys use for a tranny gasket?

Toyota parts dealer says to buy a 20 dollar tube of high temp silicone or they sell some crappy cork gasket. Now I know cork gaskets from my GM days and they always weeped fluid out. If there is one thing I can't stand its leaks!! So what do you guys recommend?

Standard, oil-resistant, high-temp RTV from Napa. $6.00 for a tube. A tube will last for multiple tranny pan gaskets.

If anybody needs pan gaskets we can supply them. They are Duraprene, not crappy cork.
