The critical gasket for the GM 6L80

Calling it the “gift that keeps on giving,” Dave Hristko, technical product specialist for Transtar, uses this video from the Transtar Garage Studio to talk about the GM 6L series.
“But there’s something that you can’t get from GM that I believe is seriously critical on this unit,” he goes on. “And that’s the stator gasket.”
For all the details you need on this topic, watch the video above.

Is there a video apologizing to every shop in the country regarding that POS coated gasket that expands and loosens up the bolts cooking everything back to the 456? Torque converter included

First CB, I said damn it how'd I do that? Must've walked away or answered the phone
2nd one a week later. No way I did that twice. Started digging and found NUMEROUS shops across the country
3rd was a few months later wasn't mine but still cost the shop.
Supposedly had to load in press, torque down with red loctite. Leave it pressed for a bit, come back and give 10 more inch lbs. Jump through I million hoops for a part that never goes bad from factory, only aftermarket. Rumor is that gasket quietly disappeared
