Re: TH400 gasket seal.

I hate to sound like a smart tail but are you sure it is the pan? There are a lot of things that can leak so close to the pan it would seem that the pan is leaking when it really is not. Dipstick tube comes to mind, as does the shifter shaft seal. I had one in a nova once I thought the pan was leaking and it turned out to be the grommet for the dipstick tube was cut. I am sorry I don't have much more to offer on the pan idea except maybe try a neoprene gasket instead. If the oil level is below the pan top why would it leak sitting still? Jim
