Can I reuse these two items? I am purchasing a new clutch cover outer ring and gasket but Im using the existing centre cover. Id like to reuse the rubber ring seal and sight gauge if possible.

If they are not the paper type gaskets, I have reused with success.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

The center seal should be fine as long as it was not leaking before. This one is sandwiched in between the center and outer cover.

The oil gauge might be more problematic. They are press fit in and are going to be more prone to a leak if it was put in or removed off center.

If I purchase a new sight gauge is it something I can press fit into place at home?
