4l60e pan and gasket

Well here is the deal, my transmission leaks just a tiny bit and drips off one of the bolts. The fluid needs changed anyway and the leaking is bugging me, since that is the only thing on the car leaking. We changed a buddies and his was a pain draining the pan and he used a cork gasket I think. I want to get an aftermarket pan with a plug and Im sure some more capacity couldn't hurt anything.

What is a good aftermarket pan with a drain plug and maybe more capacity?

What gasket do you recommend using?

Longtubes and TSP true duals with sweet thunders will be going in when I do this as well later this summer, so will there be any clearance problems with an aftermarket pan? Any other advice or links is much appreciated!

Plans for the car as of now are full bolt ons with a 3000+ stall if that helps any.

i had the derale pan, its deeper, about the size of the truck pan, but uses a standard filter, not the truck one. Its steel and it also has tubes that are supposed to let air cool the fluid better. There are several aluminum pans with plugs as well, but honestly, all pans are going to perform about the same.

I like the TCI aluminum pan. It comes with a drain plug and a black fibre gasket. No goofy filter extensions. Just a nice piece. IMO Vince
