Transaxle Reassembly: Precautions

  1. If drive plates or brake band are replaced with new ones, soak new part in ATF for at least two hours before installation.
  2. Before assembly, apply ATF to all seal rings, rotating parts, O-rings, and sliding parts.
  3. All O-rings, seals, and gaskets must be replaced with new ones.
  4. Use petroleum jelly, not grease, during reassembly.
  5. When it is necessary to replace a bushing, replace the subassembly that includes that bushing.
  6. Assemble housing within 10 minutes after applying sealant and allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling transaxle with ATF.
