Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Auto transmission pan torque spec?

Curious what the torque spec is on the transmission pan. Also, is the gasket reusable? Should I just put a little RTV on it and slap it back on, or replace the thing? Thanks

Torque on the transmission pan is 150 in. lbs. The service manual also says to use a new gasket. FWIW

I just serviced my transmission and on alldata it said torque it to 13ft lbs, and I just re used the gasket. It is a thick plastic one so it should be re-usable. Don't overfill it though without draining the torque converter you should only put 7-8 quarts in. And I believe twelve if you drain the torque converter

And if the torque has no drain plug?

NEVER use RTV on the trans. pan!!
