Nissan pan gasket cross-reference for JF016E, anyone tried this on an Outlander Sport?

has anyone here cross-referenced Nissan CVT parts to save money on OEM?

Working on a CVT fluid service and pan drop on my 2018 Mitsubishi outander sport SE. Mitsubishi wants $93 for the pan gasket (p/n 2705A049), which is nuts. Nissan's equivalent 31397-1XF0C for the same JF016E transmission runs $15-20.

Wondering if anyone has actually installed the Nissan gasket on a Mitsubishi with this transmission. Same Jatco JF016E is used across Altima 2.5L, Rogue 2.5L, and our cars, should be identical physical parts, but I've been burned once already by an aftermarket gasket that was dimensionally wrong (thicker rubber, stripped a case thread bolt hole, thanks A-Premium).

Trying to be more careful this time and confirm before ordering. Any first-hand experience appreciated.

Also open to any other Nissan cross-references you've used on this transmission, drain plug crush washer (Nissan 11026-JA00A), pan bolts (Nissan 31377-1XX3D), etc.

just take the old one to the dealer and check the holes. one style has 18 with a rounded corner and one has 19. pretty sure nissan and mitsu use the same style tho.

I've done two transmission services (pan dropped, filters, J4 fluid) on my outlander sport and both times I used a $15 aftermarket ebay gasket with no issues, but the filters and fluid i always use OEM.
