Re: [DML] auto transmission pan gasket

["adam_one_million" <acprice1@xxxx>]

Hey Dave. I thought of this already, but the cork sheet isnt thick 
enough, and I would haveto layer it about 5 or 6 times to acheive the 
thickness of the original gasket, thats too much of a hassle. I am 
ordering an official one from Ralph.

Oh yeah, and I can say that the transmission used on the Fuego is 
different from the delorean. The pan gasket is a crazy rubber thing 
that looks more like weather stripping. It is only the governor that 
is the same between these cars! Thanks for the info Senator!
