Wix 6r80 filter kit

[Tuffnuts23]

My converter install got postponed, wife decided I had more important things to do this weekend. So I figured I might as well do a full fluid swap on the trans since I'm going to have the converter out. I picked up a dipstick from JPC, a shitload of Amsoil ATF, and a Wix filter kit. I noticed the kit comes with a gasket. Have any of you guys had any experience with this filter kit? Am I better off reusing the factory metal gasket? Thanks

I reused the stock metal gasket when I changed over to Amsoil during my converter swap.

you change the filter as well?

No I didn't since I only had 4000 miles on the car at the time.

I'm coming up on 5000, but figured I might as well since everything else is getting changed.

I would reuse the stock pan gasket.
