>>H<< Control Housing Installation

CAUTION: Squeeze sealant onto the case. Do not leave gaps or excess amounts, otherwise oil leaks are likely.
  1. Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to the surface coated with the sealant.

    Never touch the degreased surface by hand.

  2. Apply a 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) diameter bead of sealant (Mitsubishi Part number MD997740 or equivalent) as illustrated onto the control housing.
    NOTE: Be sure to install the housing to the case quickly while the sealant is still wet.

  3. Install the control housing to the transaxle case and tighten the bolts to specified torque.

    Tightening torque: 18 ± 3 N.m (13 ± 2 ft-lb) 

    NOTE: After installation, keep the sealed area away from the oil for approximately one hour.
