External Sealing: Notes

The torque converter housing has a lip-type seal that seals the torque converter hub. The pump assembly seals to the torque converter housing with a rubber seal. The manual shaft and halfshafts also use lip-type seals. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles do not use a RH halfshaft seal, the transaxle is sealed by the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) on the RH side.

The torque converter housing is sealed to the transaxle case with silicone sealant.

The main control cover is sealed to the transaxle case with silicone sealant and seals to the solenoid body with a reusable rubber gasket. The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is sealed to the transaxle case with an O-ring seal.

The line pressure tap plug and transmission fluid drain plug have pipe threads and seal when tightened to specification.

The transmission fluid filler tube is sealed to the torque converter housing with an O-ring seal.
