Manual Transaxle Assembly: Reassembly: Notes

Reassembly is in the reverse order of disassembly (See  DISASSEMBLY   ). 

NOTE: When working with FIPG material, you must observe the following items.
  • Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
  • Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
  • Clean both sealing surfaces with a non-residue solvent.
  • Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along the sealing surface.
  • Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application. Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reapplied.
