Gaskets for Trans and Diff?

[JBDaddy]

I've got a 1998 Limited V6 4WD, and I'm fixin to change the transmission, transfer, and differential fluids. I've seen the tool, part# and do-the-fill-first guidance here - that's my "gold standard" parts number list and instructions.

But in my search for a good online source for them, because there's not a Toyota dealership convenient for me to go for parts, I got to comparing prices and part numbers, and noticed a product at Advance Auto Parts that looks interesting: "Needa Parts Oil Pan Drain Plug Gasket Assortment" - $3.59 ( Needa Parts Oil Pan Drain Plug Gasket Assortment 653346: Advance Auto Parts )

Differential Drain Plug Seal; 18MM-1.5 with 10MM Hex Thread Length 11.5MM Magnetic; Transmission and Transfer Case #90341-18015; Magnetic; M18-1.5 24MM Hex Thread Length 11MM Drain Plug Toyota; Transmission and Transfer Case #90341-18006​

Some of those are Toyota descriptions and part numbers I need. Some are more generic. Amazon has a gasket kit for diff & trans, too - $10.30 ( http://a.co/fq5iQ6o ) and it looks more certainly like the right set. I'm not really bothered by $10, or even $20 if I have to spend that to get the right parts from the dealer, but I'm trying to find the best deal

Does anyone know if that Needa Parts set actually matches up to the number, sizes and specs for the gaskets needed? If not, I'll probably go pick it up and take a road trip to a Toyota dealer to stand at the parts counter and compare (a'la "I have these parts for this job, but I'm not sure which is which, can you show me what part goes where and sell me the ones I need but don't have?"). I'll report back what I find because that's a much cheaper version of those parts, if they match up.

But I thought maybe someone else has already done this and can save me a trip? Anyone know of another all-included set at a good price somewhere?

Thanks.

You don't need to replace those. That's just superstition

I'm Mr. Paranoid... Expecting the worst, I didn't want to get under it for this job and break or strip something it'd take me a day or two to replace. [emoji32]

That's reassuring though, thanks.

The diff plug gaskets should be fine. If they don't crumble like they do in your nightmares then reuse them. The OEM engine oil plug gasket kinda sucks. I'd rather a copper one.
