Riviera V6-231 3.8L VIN L SFI (1991)
DO NOT PRY IN THIS AREA is a 100 percent fix. Vehicles with side pan leaks, regardless of stamping, should be considered suspect for this
condition. If the transaxle already has a new style pan and a leak occurs at the inner side pan gasket, a second side pan (again, without the stamping) may
need to be installed to correct the concern.
NOTE:
Even though the stamping "DO NOT PRY IN THIS AREA" has been removed, it is NOT acceptable practice to pry in the described area when
removing axle and/or seal.
IMPORTANT:
Tightening the inner case side cover gasket nuts may appear to fix the leak.. However, fix will be short term and customer will be back.
REMEMBER:
Do not exceed the recommended torque specifications for the pan nuts and bolts. Exceeding these specifications will contribute to further gasket splitting
and render any repair procedures useless.
Torque specifications for the 4T60 and 4T60E.
