Check the thrust bearing could be worned out causing the excessive play

That is from normal wear. The rods should be fine, but make sure you replace bearings. As far as gasket, you should be able to get one at a parts store. They may have to order it, but should be able to get it. If they can't a dealer will have one or you could contact a trans shop and get one from them.
