O-Rings, Gaskets, Seals
- O-rings, gaskets and seals must be replaced.
- After removing seal rings and seals, always inspect the contact surfaces at housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal, or for other signs of damage.
- Before installing the seal rings, lightly oil the outer circumference and fill the space between the sealing lips -arrow- halfway with Grease G 052 128 A1.

- The open side of the seals point toward the fluid to be sealed in.
- Coat O-rings with ATF before inserting to prevent crushing rings during installation.
- Never use any other lubricants in the same areas as the ATF. Otherwise there is a danger of malfunction of the transmission hydraulics.
- Check the ATF level. Refer to ATF LEVEL, CHECKING
