Transfer Assembly Installation

Clean the area where the transfer assembly contacts the transmission with solvent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Then apply Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to the contact areas. When installing the transfer assembly, be sure not to allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the transmission.
Install the new O-ring (A) on the transfer.
