    For clarification, if you meant doubling up on the gasket in the way of putting two gaskets on I didn't do that (would fear the same result of wearing two condoms). Its just The old one didn't have any cracks or tears, plus it wouldn't budge when I tried to pull it/pry it off. I just left it there and re-fastened the adaptor pan.

    I must say, I was scared that putting the gasket on the main pan looked like it was going to be a pain to line up that many holes with so many screws. I was relieved to find that the gasket actually holds the screws in place making it super easy to just ratchet them all on.

    First fill prior to starting it took 3 quarts to fill the pan. Then after letting it warm up and cycling the gears it took another 3 quarts. I was filling it up a quart at a time and then after the third, I tried half a quart and it ran out. So hopefully that's the right amount. The car definitely shifts better than before, my guess it was actually low on oil aside from the chocolate and burnt oil that was remaining. Nothings dripping as of yet, so I would say mission complete! Now was that worth saving 220 dollars for the first time, I'm not sure. But it should be much easier the next time around.
