Kyle,
Looks like I was a little late. I wanted to double check, but I was
pretty sure there was a gasket on top of my TB between it and the air
cleaner. I looked and there is one. I'm not sure why the dealer couldn't
get one, or why the autoparts stores don't have them. My guess is because
they don't really wear out that often. Sorry I couldn't help sooner!
