Manual Transmission System: Precaution

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. 1.2 mm (0.047 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.
