NOTE:
The extension must have a shoulder or a boss cast in it to hold the orifice lube plug in the back of the case. If the wrong extension housing is used, the plug may become loose and/or fall out and cause transmission damage.
NOTE:
Lightly lubricate the gasket with petroleum jelly to hold it in place during assembly.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to raise the back of the transmission too high. If it makes contact with the underbody, damage to the TSS and OSS sensors will occur.
