Seals And Gaskets

- Always replace the O-rings, gaskets and seals.
- After removing the gaskets and seals, check the contact surfaces on the housing or shaft for burrs or damage resulting from removal.
- Coat the O-rings with ATF before inserting to prevent the rings from being crushed during assembly.
- Only use ATF. Other lubricants cause malfunctions in the hydraulic transmission control.
- Before installing the seal rings, lightly oil the outer circumference and coat the space between the sealing lips -arrow- with ATF.
- The open side of the gaskets point toward the fluid to be sealed in.
- Check the ATF level after installing. Refer to ATF LEVEL, CHECKING
