I've used those gaskets without a problem, just be sure that the mating surfaces are clean and aren't marred. I also use Permatex 80064 anaerobic spray-a-gasket for insurance.
I just use aerosol parts cleaner to clean the governor once you take it out of the transmission.
Cleanliness is important when working on automatic transmissions. Be sure you clean the outside of the transmission well before getting started. If you get the car high enough in the air, you can slide a plastic concrete mixing bin bought at the home center to catch whatever you clean off. You can clean the transmission with aerosol parts cleaner (you'll need lots, at least 4 cans) and then take the residue from the bin to a place that recycles used motor oil.
The problem with draining the pan or pumping out the reservoir for fluid changes is that you leave all the old crap in the cooler and the torque converter. That fluid is just contaminating the new stuff you put in. Search this board for "complete fluid change" for instructions to get all the old stuff out. I'll be doing this in the next couple weeks on my car, and plan to put together an online tutorial with photographs.
