Disassembly And Assembly: Assembly

CAUTION:
  • Do not reuse the gasket, O-ring, oil seal. Always replace with a new one when assembling.
  • Do not use grease. Use petroleum jelly (i.e. Vaseline).
  • Apply ATF to friction components, rotating parts, and sliding parts before installation. Immerse new clutch discs or brake discs in ATF for at least two hours before assembling them.
  • When replacing a bushing, replace the assembly which it belongs to.
  • Do not use cloth gloves or shop towels during assembly. Use nylon cloth or other lint-free material.

    CAUTION:
    • Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to the surface coated with the sealant. Never touch the degreased surface by hand.
    • Make sure the starting point and the ending point are about the middle between the bolts.
  68. Apply a 1.6 mm (0.06 inch) diameter bead of sealant to the torque converter housing in the area shown in the illustration.
