The transmission gasket is easier to put on than any other gasket. All you do is remove the left side cover and then the trans cover easy. I have done this about 5 times. I have one if you would want to buy it.

El Gato means "The Cat."

When you replace the gasket make sure to clean all the old oil out with a rag. I wouldn't use solvent (brake clean, etc) as you don't want to wash out the bearings.

Ya, you have to be awfully careful when tightening bolts. It helps to use the torque specs. It is easy to strip that light alluminum. It may work to put in a longer bolt. There may still be a few salvageable threads a little further back in the thread hole. Try that.
