External Sealing
The torque converter housing has a lip-type seal that seals the torque converter hub. The manual control lever shaft and half shafts also use lip-type seals. AWD vehicles do not use a RH half shaft seal, the transmission is sealed by the PTU on the RH side.
The torque converter housing is sealed to the transmission case with silicone sealant.
The transmission cover is sealed to the transmission case with a reusable gasket. The main control cover is sealed to the transmission case and the solenoid body with reusable rubber gaskets.
The TSS sensor is sealed to the transmission cover with an O-ring seal. The transmission fluid filler tube is sealed to the main control cover with an O-ring seal that is serviced with the transmission fluid filler tube. The transmission fluid level indicator is sealed to the transmission fluid filler tube with an O-ring seal that is serviced with the transmission fluid level indicator.
The line pressure tap plug, transmission fluid drain plug and the lubrication circuit tap plug have pipe threads and seal when tightened to specification.
