7. Support the pressure plate and the clutch assembly by hand so that they do not misalign. With the marks aligned, install the clutch assembly to the oil pump assembly. Install the 30 mm shim (I).
8. Make sure that the clutch assembly and the pressure plate are correctly installed. If the clutch assembly can be pushed down then go to next step. If not, return to step  5.
   NOTE: If incorrectly installed, the clutch assembly may be damaged when excessive force is applied.

9. Remove the dirt and oil from the sealing surfaces. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) evenly to the sealing surface. Install the component with in 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket. Make sure you seal the entire circumference of the bolt holes to prevent fluid leakage.
   NOTE:

   • If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
   • If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply the new liquid gasket.
   • Allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with fluid.
