Here is a PDF of it if anyone wants to keep it on file.

It will print to normal size.

that you can match the size like a quarter or a ruler on the scan. That way you can confirm the size after you print it out.

can someone tell me if this gasket print was correct for them? I dont have my transmission at the time to match it up to.The one side of the gasket is rounded on the corners and the other side looks straight

That's the way it is. Matches the contour of the transmission, but is not critical to the installation. Only thing critical is the bolt hole alignment. If you look at the bell housing you may be able to see that outline there if you have not cleaned the area already.

i cleaned and painted it already is the certain holes that do and dont get cut cause when i tipped the tranny foward oil poured out one of the holes

  You need a total of five holes. One for the input shaft bearing and four trans mounting bolt holes.  The edges of the holes are not real critical since you are only trying to hole the gasket in place while you mount the trans.

On the left side you will see a round mark in the gasket that would line up with the hole in the front of the transmission where the lube leaked out when you tipped the transmission.

 

There has been past debate here about the need to cut that hole out when making a new gasket. My theory on that is..... if there is a hole, it then has two sides of the gasket from which to leak.

 

I did not cut the hole, and have no problem shifting.

 

My point of bolt hole "critical" was to the point of being able to get the bolts into the holes without any gasket being in the way. You may notice here that not only did I not cut the extra hole, I also forgot to cut out one of the bolt holes. That was not noted by me until I tried to put a bolt in the hole.
