Question for the Transmission Experts - Valve Body Gaskets Arrived folded (1 Viewer)

[Pippylongsausage]

I have a feeling that I already know the answer here, but looking for some input.

I ordered valve body gaskets for my Transgo install I was planning this weekend and whatever knuckle dragging numbscull nitwit packed them folded them and stuffed them into a padded envelope. There is a crease visible on both of them.

The question: Is it stupid to even attempt to use these? Can the old ones be reused or is that asking for trouble?

I reckon exchange them.

The PITA having to wait doesn't outweigh the PITA having to redo everything to fix an issue

I definitely wouldn't use those. I'm 90% sure I reused the gaskets on my Tundra (A340F) and it has been good for around 80,000.

Yea that’s what I’m thinking. I’m going to go ahead and open it up this weekend and decide whether I want to wait for the new gaskets to get here or reuse the old ones.

I had this happen repeatedly with Differential (carrier) gaskets,
someone at the warehouse would fold the gasket neatly in half, or even quarters once, so they would fit into a (too f--ing) small bag. Eventually got one in a large enough bag so they didn't fold it.

I would get a replacement, no need for you to suffer due a poorly trained/supervised employee's mistake.
