Default transmission gasket, valve body upgrade.

could someone help a brotha out,

is there a good website to get a transmission gasket for an automatic 06 350z? i live in a small town. autozone or the o'reillys in town doesnt carry them and the dealership prices are pretty high. i got the valve body upgrade by stillen but im having problems removing the valve body. the pictures are in black and white so im not sure on most of the bolts that need to be removed. i would greatly appreciate your help.

Google it and get one shipped to you, they are everywhere on the internet.

I would have had a professional do the VB upgrade...even just taking the VB off the tranny. This upgrade is not a good idea to do yourself if you dont know EXACTLY what you are doing.

i got the valve body off, what made it complicated was that stillen changed the camera angles on the picture. im still looking for the gasket though.

im meant to finalize this thread.

i paid 25 bucks for the gasket at the dealership. stillen sends pictures with instructions. they should take them in color and the right angles, it would help those in the future.
if you like savin money (me):

use jack stands four of them (easier w/creeper)
stillen says to put the trans in neurtral
drain it (trans fluid nissan -10 bucks a quart?)
12 bolts (different sizes) and three or 1 wire hold the vb in place.
take pictures it helps
wait 3 or so days for return
lube it w/tranny fluid (dont have to but i did)
reassemble n enjoy.
