O-Rings, Seals, Gaskets
- Always replace sealing rings and gaskets.
- After removing gaskets, always inspect the contact surface on the housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal and for signs of damage.
- Coat O-rings with a thin coat of ATF at outer circumference and at sealing lip before installing.
- Coat sealing rings with ATF or Vaseline before inserting in order to avoid pinching of the rings during installation.
- Never use other lubricants in surrounding area of the ATF. Otherwise danger of improper functioning of the hydraulic transmission control may occur.
- The open side of each sealing ring faces the fluid to be sealed.
- After installing, check the gear oil and ATF levels, and correct if necessary.
