Where may I find an oem seal gasket for the trans pan? Or is there an equivalent in quality option

There is no gasket, they use sealant. I just bought the Mopar RTV/sealant they recommend but I'm sure any automotive grade gasket sealant will work.

Lublocker makes a reusable gasket.

Look at summit racing. They have the oem filters and gaskets as does Amazon. I have a felpro gasket on mine it has been leak free. A rubber gasket is reusable. The plus side to using a gasket you do not need to wait to refill your trans. The gasket maker needs a bit of time before filling and more of a mess.

Found the mopar one on Amazon thanks guys
Just make sure you get the correct sump filter as they differ from 4x4 and 4x2. The 4x4 has a longer tube on it.

Does this gasket seem to be the right one for the 68rfe it doesn’t look like the same shape as the lube locker one. Edit: that is an oil pan gasket I found the trans pan gasket on racing summit site

Your filters look correct but that gasket is not. This is the one I ordered.

You need 68425659AA Genuine Mopar 68RFE transmission rubber coated metal pan gasket... Check with Benny from All Mopar Parts : https://www.ramforum.com/forums/all-mopar-parts.133/ he is a preferred vender here on Ram Forum and he sells Mopar parts at discount

I ordered the lube locker gasket off of summit racing seems to be a good gasket from the reviews. Any experiences?

I prefer gasket maker, if done right it is simple and wont leak period. Guys use gaskets with good luck too, I think you can actually put gasket maker under the seal. The mani thing, avoid a leak because it is an incredible waste in this application. Get the metal thread upgrade, they have synthetic filter options for canister, only use mopar sump they are great. Redline c+ is a great fluid for the rfe. do yourself a favor and get the corect metal thread, stay away from billet ones they are loose, this one. To use gasket maker right you should let pan sit overnight before you fill.
