Default leaky t-10

I swapped auto to manual 3 years ago. At the time of the swap I had the trans rebuilt, it`s a super t-10. It shifts fine but it leaks. The gaskets in the rebuild kit were very thin paper, so I ordered a gasket kit. They look the same. How do you seal this thing up? Should I put some kind of sealer on both sides of the gaskets? Any help will be appreciated.

Verify if it is truely leaking from the gaskets. Make sure it is not the shifter seals as they sometimes leak. If so a light film on both side should do the trick.

It appears to be leaking from the shifter seals and the gaskets. Any ideas as to what sealant to use?
