reusable yes
when we dropped ours the first time(last spring)it had a aftermarket cork one on it that a PO had installed
we got the factory rubber one from the dealer
but only after using the new cork one we got originally,
however the transmission was leaking and we erroneously thought it was the pan leaking so we dropped it again andinstalled the factory rubber one
still had a trans leak after that even,
so now the other day i dropped the pan again and used a 5 dollar squeeze tube MoPar ATF RTV black silicone to seal the pan on so now we have a perfectly good new factory rubber gasket laying around that we will never need hahaa
i think it was only 20 bucks though or little more though,
dropping the pan is easy on these, although the rear lip of the pan gets kinda hung up
what i do is drop and raise the pan up and down a few times while puling the pan forward and it comes out
otherwise its cakewalk on these
clean and easy
the 4r70w or whatever trans, the smaller/lighter one
with the 4.9 engines
the bolts are 10mm head
need a short socket and universal joint for the two rear ones because the crossmember is in the way too far to get them with just the straight extension and socket
if for some reason you cant get the factory rubber one i could send you this one for mail cost or whatever
if the 5.4 even used the same tranny as the 4.9 though.,
flat rate is low
but im sure your local ford dealer will have quite a few
i would think
good luck
