    So my 02 GP GT has ~145k and it has never had any transmission service, yes I know, bad owner

    However, I figured I might as well try to make up for my past mistakes and go ahead and drop the pan and change the fluid and filter. I've done the work on other cars before, but for this car should that transmission pan gasket still be good or should I go ahead and order a new one from the dealer?

    Easy way to tell if it's original gasket. It'll have metal in it and ribs on the surface. Wipe clean and reuse that gasket. If it's a thin rubber w/o any rigidity..put the new gasket on it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
