Seals, Sealing Rings

Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC.

Always replace the O-rings, seals and gaskets.
Flange shaft, torque converter and selector shaft seals are illustrated as shaft seals.
After removing the seals, check the sealing surfaces on the housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or damage.
Coat O-rings with ATF before inserting to prevent crushing rings during installation.
Use ATF only. 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 seals point toward the fluid to be sealed in.
Check the ATF level. Refer to ATF .
