I couldn't reuse it because little parts from the center of the gasket came off on the transmission side, and the rest of it had to be scraped off of the pan little by little. Took me about an hour to get both the transmission side and the pan side clean. I replaced it with another cork type which I got from Macko, as the new kits from the FLAPS came only with rubber. I was worried that it would never seal properly again, but I put a little gasket sealant on the pan side and meticulously followed the torque-ing instructions. No leaks so far. ===== ----------------------------------------- Have you driven your Type 3 today? http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ ----------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
