OEM & Transgo-HD2 4L60E seperator plate gaskets the same?
As the title goes, I'm transferring my shift kit from my old transmission into my new car, but was wondering if just buying a brand new OEM separator plate gasket would work or I would need to get one specific for the separator plate that came in the Transgo-HD2 kit?

The OEM separator plate gasket for any year '96-'05 should work just fine.
Before assembly align the clean gaskets on the plate to make sure all holes in the plate have holes in the gaskets; I sometimes enlarge a few holes in the gaskets with an exacto knife just to be sure. (It seems these gaskets expand/shrink a bit depending upon humidity and age.)
When ready for final assembly, spread a thin layer of Transgel or Vaseline one the gaskets so that they stick to the separator plate and make a final verification that the holes are all aligned.
EDIT: I see that much more experienced PBA posted at the same time and recommends a 2001 or later gasket. Go with that then.

I purchased the kit only because I need the oil pump O ring and gasket due to a static leak from the pump housing.
The separator plate gaskets are included in the kit. But the packaging says 4L60E / 4L65E 93-02.
So question is, can I just use what is included in this kit? Or are the 2001 and later gaskets required instead?
