Extension Housing Gasket: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: 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.
