Trans/transfer case gasket and crank pilot bushing help needed

[Berepair]

Hi all,

Having the trans rebuilt by a good local trans shop.
Can't find a new gasket for the trans to xfer case flange, or a pilot bushing for the torque converter.
Gasket is torn and don't want to use rtv, bushing is cracked and needs new.
Dealer, Rock auto, Advance, Oreillys... are not coming up with the correct gasket and NO luck on the bushing.
I could, worst case, make a new gasket if there is none available. I'd rather just buy one.
Trans shop suggested going to the dealer (that's what they'd do) for the bushing when I asked them where to get one.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce

torque converter pilot bushing???

Typically a clutch setup uses a pilot bearing
Maybe you are talking about a front pump seal, this would be part of the transmission rebuild
Torque converter bolts to flexplate and the flexplate bolts to the engine crank with a metal spacer and 6 bolts

here is the 5 bolt t case gasket

More Information for FEL-PRO 55484

Thanks for the reply.

My mistake, I had not removed the flexplate when I posted the questions/asks.
I do need the spacer as there is a chip in the center which centers the flexplate and torque converter.

The Felpro gasket lists an OD of 8" and appears to be for a 6 bolt flange.
This is the Mahle B33590 gasket I had Oreilleys get for me (pretty sure it is the same as the Felpro (it has the same ID/OD specs as the Felpro).
My 5 bolt circle is a larger diameter.
This Explorer is stock and probably first time trans is out. 67,000 miles.
It does have the electric shift xfer case, if that means anything.

Any other thoughts??
Thanks,
Bruce

I knew someone would need this some day. Tired of looking at it.

@Turdle has mailed me the adapter (thank you).
I made a xfer case gasket yesterday. Today when I picked up the rebuilt unit, the trans shop had a new one for me.

Thanks for the help guys.
