Yes there is a gasket. The original was cork. The OEM replacement is now a
fiber gasket and if you get replacement screws they now have flange heads.
This is an ideal place for the "Right Stuff" gasket maker.

Subject: 91 Auto Final Drive ?

Two questions, please.  Does the final drive have a gasket between the pan
and drive?  Bentley looks like there is one.  How do you drain final
drive...by removing the pan?  I see the 17mm on the right lower side of
drive...is this the fill? Thanks for the stupid questions.
