I've had much better luck sticking it to the pump. The pump has a much more noticeably smooth surface. If you look at the stick side of the gasket, it too is agreeably smoother that the non-stick side. The cast iron section on the trans axle is not as clean cut as the pump,... giving the non-stick side of the gasket a better chance to mate for a better seal.
Something to think about
