I'm looking for a replacement transmission pan and gasket. Kind of dented mine while offroading a bit and is now leaking because of it. A mechanic told me that it is only obtainable through a dealer. Does anyone know where else I can get the replacement parts? Thanks.

I suspect there are other 545RFE pans that will fit but the OEM pan (5013681AA or new number 68065923AA) appears to be like $35+shipping on-line or something on the order of $50-60 list so why sweat it? I don't know if the gasket is sold separate but if not there may be RTV alternatives.

I assume "kind" of dented means it's really pranged and not capable of being straightened? If so you might want to consider investing in skids for future off road excursions.

Yes pans are available just do a 545RFE search. As for the gasket, Jeep does not sell a gasket, they say use RTV. Most aftermarket trans filter kits comes with the gasket. Or you maybe able to purchase the gasket only at Napa or other parts store

I have one I took off mine, but the shipping will be expensive. Check for one that is local you can pick up first.
