Mine survived... The clutch side is easier to save than the stator side...
That said,.. I'd have a new one handy, just in case...
Stator side,... you are dealing with a very magnetic attraction, that makes pulling the case smoothly difficult...
..(I boogered it bad...
)...
Also,... I bought a nicely cut, but too thick, aftermarket gasket, that would weep no matter how tight it was torqued...
Factory original worked perfectly...
Never again...
I'll buy OEM gaskets from now on...
