AT drain & fill plug gaskets

Does anyone have the part numbers handy on the drain & overflow plug gaskets for the AT? I looked in the shop manual and it doesn't specify the part numbers from what I can tell.

Thanks in...

Definitely flex fuel. You'll get a very nice power bump on just the stock pulley. And the HBP is an easy upgrade should you want it later.

Wow that's crazy. I got on the list almost a year and a half ago, and my name is still probably another year out. BTW I did ask my name be taken off as I moved on to a JRSC.
