On your gasket,take a ball peen hammer(use the round side) and bump the bolt holes of the pan toward the outside of the pan when using the rubber gaskets. You'll want to do this as it lets the flang bite harder between the bolts,plus the holes usually belly in anyhow.
Glue that gasket to the pan as well,that'll keep the gasket from mashing out to far and help retain it while you install the pan.
Or go buy a reusable gasket from the stealer ship.

I was freaked out as you are but I wrote it off with my converter possibly having some debris still in it, and the fact that I had a bad 2-3 shift overlap with my tight tolerances in the direct pack. A second servo return spring doubled up with the factory cured my overlap. My last two times I've had the pan off all looks well.
This is another reason I'm hesitant to install a remote bypass filter. If everything was collected and the pan was clean on the bottom, you would not be alerted to the Trans possibly self destructing.
Cool glasses by the way.

IrishChamp wrote:Is this something I should have looked at? I assume sense its been 15,000 miles sense the rebuild (too long for a first fluid change I'm sure) the clearance issue has "rectified" itself, or rather, the damage is done and the clearance issue is gone?
My 2-3 shift has been very hard at part throttle sense the rebuild. The way I understood this is because of a smaller clearance on those clutch packs, that if there was maybe one less friction there it would engage softer. could this be the culprit area? I don't know what a thrust washer is and I've never opened up a transmission, my knowledge is very limited
what would you glue the gasket in with RTV sealant, super glue?

3m makes some stuff called weatherstripping adhesive,comes in yellow or black,that's what I use. Any parts store has it.
