Transmission Leak

Transmission Leak
I installed a B&M shift kit, and I was never able to get the pan sealed correctly. I have tried 3 different gaskets AND a wix gasket that was suggested in a thread I found when searching. Am I pretty much screwed? do I have to buy a new pan? Could I possibly just use a sealant or liquid gasket, would that possibly keep it from leaking? I am going slowly insane over this stupid thing, so any help would be appreciated.

well i think you should get a pan. You made sure the mounting area for the gasket is clean before installing the gasket..and also i am not insulting your intelligence or anything..but are you sure you have been installing the gaskets the right way?

Thanks for the tips guys, I made sure the mounting surface and pan top were spotless, had a friend work on the pan for a little while with a body hammer, and used a wix black fiber gasket. We also torqued it to 7 pounds with a torque wrench. I did it a couple times by myself, then with my buddy who has done it countless times, and it's still leaking. Guess I am in for a new pan. thanks again for your guys suggestions.
