leaky transmission pan; help!

[FrankA]

I upgraded to a deeper transmission pan but to find out that it has been dropping a little fluid after the install around the gasket. I returned it to the shop (Dodge dealer) & told me that I needed a synthetic gasket instead of the one (I believe it is cork/paper) that came with the new deeper pan. Which one really works to keep the leaks away? I spoke with the MagHi-Tech people & they told me that the one (cork/paper) that came with the pan is the proper gasket.

I like the rubber gasket you can buy from Dodge best. It is reuseable many times. Don't over torque the bolts, you may strip them.
