and transmission case using a wire brush. Clean both
surfaces thoroughly in preparation for assembly
31. Inspect the inner PVT cover. Replace if cracked or
damaged. The mating surface must be clean to ensure
adhesion of new silicone sealant.

applying silicone to ensure good adhesion. Pass the flame
of a propane torch back and forth quickly over the area
where the silicone is to be applied (2-3 inches from the
flame tip is recommended). Do not hold the torch too close
to the surface. Keep the torch moving to prevent damage.
33. Apply RTV silicone sealant to the outside edge of the inner
PVT cover to ensure a water tight fit between the cover and
the transmission.

specification.
