Gaskets

[Allen9878]

I have a 1980 CJ5 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and will be a ax15 with the Dana 300 . Is there any gaskets that go between the engine/Transmission and the trans/Transfer Case ? If so, where is a good place to order them from?

Is the gasket between the engine and trans a 258 gasket or are they specific to the transmission? I assume it is a 258 if there is one, forgive my ignorance.

Does this include it if there is one?

I appreciate the help!

No gasket between the Transmission and engine. The engine itself has a main seal in front of the flywheel and the transmission has a gasket around the input shaft. Don't worry about them unless they are leaking. The main seal is a more common problem than the tranny input seal.
Then there is a seal between the transmission and TCase. Check out this link

Most of this kit is only used for a rebuilt. The gasket you were asking about is the one in the upper right, the black one. With a little more searching you should be able to find just the tranny/TCase gasket.

some of us have been known to use a bit of RTV or permatex . Or so I have heard.

That's what they make it for.
