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.
  1. 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).

  2. Install the transaxle case and expand the snap ring.
  3. Tighten the transaxle case mounting bolts to the specified torque.

    Tightening torque: 44 +/- 5 N.m (33 +/- 4 ft-lb) 

  4. 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.
