>> G << Transaxle Case Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Squeeze out the sealant uniformly, while making sure that it is not broken or excessively applied.
- Apply a 2 mm (0.08 inch) diameter bead of sealant (Mitsubishi Genuine Part number MD997740 or equivalent) to the illustrated position of the transaxle case.NOTE: Be sure to install the transaxle case while the sealant is wet (within 15 minutes).
- Install the transaxle case and expand the snap ring.
- Tighten the transaxle case mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 44 +/- 5 N.m (33 +/- 4 ft-lb)
- Place the transaxle upside down and let the snap ring fit in the groove by taking advantage of the output shaft's own weight.NOTE: After installation, keep the sealed area away from the oil for approximately one hour.
