    Default 1997 4T60E side cover gasket

    Took the side cover off of my 1997 GP to replace the solenoids and bent the steel/rubber gasket that came off the side cover. Did'nt know it could be reused so I tossed it. Now I gotta get a new gasket and found out that there's a few options I gotta go over.

    1. The OEM gasket is for the aluminum side cover and it's a steel and molder rubber gasket that I found goes for between $80-$120 bucks.
    2. There's a cork style gasket that fits the cover and it runs about 30 bucks.
    3. AutoZone and Advance Auto (on thier websites) along with other Transmission places show a steel/rubber gasket that states it will fit the 4T60E AND the 4T65E transmissions, but it does'nt look likeit would fit.

    My question is, can I go with the cork gasket to save some cash or should I pony up and get the steel/rubber gasket. Also, will that other gasket made for the 4T65E fit my side cover?

    Any help would be appreciated!!!

    Check RockAuto. They'd be likely to have AC Delco gaskets at a reasonable price. May even show a pic of it so you can be sure it's the correct one.

    Yeah, I checked Rock Auto and the picture that they show looks different from the gasket that I need. It also states that it is the 2nd design. Since I know the gasket is reuseable, I might go to my favorite junk yard and see if I can find one.
