may I suggest not using a gasket and use rtv instead. Did it with my other car and it work great.

Dont think that will do it. Best thing to do is get High Temp RTV silicone, remove the cover. Scrape the old silicone and gasket off both sides. Clean and dry housing and cover (can even paint it to make it look pretty). Add a line of silicone and put cover back on. I like to wait atleast 30 minutes before putting oil back in. Only bad thing about this is you will have to buy new gear oil unless you get a clean pan and collect the oil to reuse it (if it is still in good condition).
