A340F Oil Strainer Gaskets?

[buickid]

Howdy all. Getting ready to drain/refill my 97 Limited 4WD, and replace the strainer/filter/screen. Service manual says "INSTALLATION HINT: Replace the used gaskets with new ones" under the paragraph about removing the strainer. However, I only ordered the strainer (correct one, long rectangular one with 4 holes), as there were no associated gaskets on the fiche. Somehow I ended up with a couple cork gaskets, which I believe are for the 2WD trans, A340E (where-used search). Not sure how I ended up ordering those, or where I got the part numbers, weird. So, from your experience, does the A340F have gaskets that seal the strainer to the valve body? I do have a tube of FIPG for the pan itself. Also, I failed to order the o-ring that seals the trans dipstick tubes together, hopefully they'll go back together without leaking.

Thanks!

I don't recall ordering or needing any gaskets (other than the pan gasket) when I did mine. I recall there being a gasket on the screen/filter but I just cleaned my filter and reused the whole thing.

Here's a couple pics of the filter and the little gasket.

Oh and I didn't replace the dipstick tube o-ring either.

Okay, mystery solved. Got to look at the new filter in person today, it comes with three cork/rubber gaskets already installed. I guess they're not available separately. Hope this might help someone in the future! Thanks for your input StreetCreeper.
