The gasket part number is correct for your 2004. FIPG was applied by a robotic arm at the factory with exact precision while the trans was bone dry. You'll be hard-pressed to duplicate those exacting conditions so using the OE gasket is fine. MAke sure your mechanic knows the A761 transmission uses Toyota WS fluid not Type T-IV.

THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO VERIFY THE CORRECT FLUID LEVEL IS THIS:
1. OBDII SCAN TOOL THAT HAS TRANS TEMP READOUT (obdlink mx)
2. TEMP BETWEEN 115F TO 130F
3. REMOVE OVER FLOW TUBE. FLUID IS CORRECT IF IT TRICKLES OUT.
WRONG WAYS TO DO IT:
1. INFRARED GUN
2. TEMP PROB ATTACHED TO BOTTOM OF PAN
I did this procedure recently with a high dollar Fluke temp meter with probe attached to bottom of the pan and my trans was under filled due to inaccurate temp reading of the bottom of the pan. I was approximately 6-8 degrees off b/t these two methods. and also filling the trans from the fill hole is much easier.
After verifying correct levels, I would send the TCU off to get resoldered.
