     Try Northwest Transmission Parts     1 800 327 1955 in Ohio.  They had 37s, I would be surprised if they didn't have what you want.

I have never bought a gearbox gasket in my life, they are the most simple things to make with a sheet of gasket paper which should be available from your motoring stores.

When making the 3-piece transmission gasket set, the gasket for the bottom cover  and the gasket between the rear housing and the main case pose no problems.  However, in the large gasket that goes between the front face of the transmission and the bell housing it is easy to overlook two details.  These are the 2 cutouts for oil passages which are at the perimeter of the large hole in the middle of this gasket for the clutch shaft and its bearing.  (One guess as to why I mention this.) 

Assume you are looking at this gasket when it is on the bell housing.  At the 12 o'clock position of the perimeter of the large hole in the middle of the gasket there should be a a 1/2 inch radius semi-circular piece cut out of the gasket.  Likewise at roughly the 7 o'clock position of the large hole there should be a 3-sided square, 1 inch long and 1/2 inch deep, cut out of the gasket.  I'm sorry but I don't have a scanner so can't attach a picture of it, but if you eyeball the bell housing you'll see what I mean. 

Bear in mind that Olson's, and probably Northwest, sells the gasket set for only $20 more or less, so it might be easier just to buy it.
