C. Fill Tube Oil Seal Replacement

C. Fill Tube Oil Seal Replacement:

1. If not already performed, remove the two transmission oil fill tube fasteners.

2. If not already performed, lift the fill tube out of the transmission case.

3. If not already performed, using a short screwdriver, pry the old fill tube oil seal out of the transmission case.

4. From the outside of the new seal, pierce the center of the seal surface with a small screwdriver along the molded "Y". This will make installing the transmission fill tube easier.

5. Install the new fill tube oil seal into the fill tube bore on the transmission case. Push the seal in by hand until bottomed.

NOTE:
The seal cannot be fully installed by hand. The seal installer disc and "C" clamp must be used to fully seat the fill tube oil seal.





6. Seat the new fill tube oil seal using the seal installer disc (Special Tool 9902) and a 6 inch "C" clamp (Fig. 4).

CAUTION:
Do not over tighten the "C" clamp during fill tube oil seal installation. Transmission oil pan damage or bending could occur.

NOTE:
A piece of shim stock can be placed between the transmission oil pan and the "C" clamp to further eliminate the chance of damaging or bending the oil pan.

7. Clean the end of the fill tube with a shop cloth. Then lightly lubricate the fill tube end with transmission oil and install the tube into the seal.

8. Install both fill tube fasteners hand tight.

9. Tighten the fill tube fastener at the bellhousing to 39 Nm (29 ft. lbs.). The bellhousing (upper) fastener must be tightened first.

10. Tighten the lower fill tube fastener to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).

11. Did the original transmission oil fill tube seal leak when tested in Section A?

a. If YES >> Proceed to Section F - Fill And Mix the Transmission Oil Prior To Flush.

b. If NO >> STOP. No further repairs are required.
