    In the middle of a Transgo HD2 shift kit install in the 03 Tacoma A340F, and ran into a hang up before I've even begun. Dropped the VB from the trans and snagged a corner of the upper gasket and will need to replace upper and lower VB gaskets that go between the separator plate. Problem is the unique 03-04 valve body Toyota 35410-35670 doesn't list gasket part numbers or availability. Can anyone point me to the correct gaskets?

    Toyota 35433-60040, 35434-60040 is what I ordered from Toyota Ourisman. Shows against the Dealer's VIN verify for my 2003 3.4L 4x4. Hope it will work because I'm at a standstill. Already regret deciding to do this job before the stress of taking apart the VB for all the springs and such has started.

    Valve body dropped from trans...must've had a quart of atf in my face to get to this point:

    My 03 drive by wire valve body (solenoid for the kick down instead of cable mechanism):

    Earlier <2003 valve body with manual kick down cable but otherwise looks same to me?

    Those are the correct upper and lower gaskets. Just rebuilt my whole a340f and did the transgo kit as well.

    Made my day big thanks for posting and solving my concern and with first hand proof. Impressive you're able to DIY the entire trans rebuild! Trying to make mine last with the Transgo kit upping the fluid pressures and different accumulator springs to tighten up clutch slip time shifting. Also bought Sonnax o ringed end plug kit. Seemed like the best part in the difference between Sonnax zip kit and Transgo HD2 kit. Going to install a 678 Hayden transmission cooler now while the gaskets ship.

    I did a combination of the sonnax zip kit and transgo.
    Instead of transgo accumulator springs I used some billet ones from ATF speed, and then put it with the IPT performance kit.
