Auto Trans drain pan

So after replacing the gasket on my auto trans drain pan again I have come to the conclusion that it is probably warped and a new gasket just isn't going to do it (the area around each of the holes is warped as I suspect a previous owner overtightened it instead of replacing the gasket). Does anyone know a place where I can get a new drain pan for the auto tranny? I know it is the same as some bus auto trannys but no parts places I have seen have just the drain pan for sale. Any ideas/sources?

Thanks,

Kevin

Set the rim of the drain pan on a block of wood and beat the metal around the holes back down using a hammer. You may also want to use the largest OD flat washers on the pan bolts that you can get to fit in the available space.

I found this to be good info as my pan gasket seems to be leaking.
