Question Is this transmission pan gasket any good?

Found this on Rockauto for $2.75. Anyone used one on here? I'm kinda leery since its so cheap compared to every single other gasket I've found

With it being that cheap, I was thinking it was the cork gasket. Me say, stay away. Get the Felpro.

Cross check the part number. I found a crankshaft sensor listed on a site that was just unbelievable cheap. The description for the part stated it was the crankshaft sensor. I cross check the part number and it was a dust gasket or something.

Also cross checking the part number (just search for it in a search engine is helpful) lets you know if it is one of the cheaper grades.

Like stated above if it'* cork stay far far away! I'd rather use bubble gum.

original one is considered a lifetime gasket. You reuse it unless something happens to it. Which...it usually tough for anything to hurt it.
