Tranny Fluid Pan Gasket

I am pretty sure Jeep used RTV as a standard. I have no idea what your XJ has now for a gasket however. When I had automatics I found it best to skip the gasket and use Permatex 81180 Automatic Transmission RTV Sealant.

Mopar MAKES a reusable gasket, but you have to buy it from a dealer. It costs a lot, but mine has been on for 3 fluid changes and doesn't leak yet. Don't use any sealer on it.
I personally don't like using RTV because small pieces can get into the valve body. On paper gaskets, I use Permatex Spray-a-Gasket on the gasket itself only. I don't like cork for anything.

This is the only way to go is with the OEM gasket.

Well worth the money for an OEM reusable gasket. Best 25 bucks you can spend to keep the pan from leaking. Dorman makes a pan with a drain plug if you're really wanting to simplify transmission services.
