mechanic said no need to buy the clamp

The clamp is not needed unless it is damaged but you will need the gasket. Why do they make them of such crap, I have never had to change a sump on a motor until this one.

They're very common on auto transmissions you can generally reuse them no problem once you clean the surfaces. Where they are compressed or out of shape boiling water can sometimes return them to their original shape.
