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 .
