External Sealing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission has the following parts to prevent external fluid leakage:
- Gaskets

- Seal rings
- Seal grommets
- Seal washers
- Thread sealant
