Installing ATF Pan

Information 

• Aluminum screws must always be replaced  .
• Aluminum screws are secured using the yield-point-controlled method  .
• Use special tool electronic torque wrench 9768 for this  .
• To ensure that the screws are tightened uniformly, the specified tightening setting "light, medium or hard" must be used  .

1. Coat the sealing ring on the intake snorkel on the ATF pan with oil.

   Information 

   Always use a new ATF pan and new aluminum screws.

   The sealing faces of the transmission and ATF pan must be clean and dry for installation.

   Before screwing in the new screws, blow out the threaded bore thoroughly with compressed air. Have a clean, lint-free cloth to hand to collect any emerging particles of dirt.

2. Fit the ATF pan on the transmission. Make sure that the sealing ring on the intake connection of the ATF pan is lying on the intake duct of the electrohydraulic control mechanism -arrow-  .

3. Press the ATF pan onto the transmission until the sealing ring on the intake connection clicks into the intake duct of the control mechanism and the ATF pan is flat on the transmission.
4. Fit fastening screws in the ATF pan and tighten to the specified torque according to the specified sequence.
