NEW DESIGN TRANSMISSION OIL PAN GASKET
MODELS AFFECTED: 1979-1986 THM 200/200C/200-4R TRANSMISSIONS
FIGURE 1 - TRANSMISSION OIL PAN
FIGURE 2 - HEX HEAD SCREW AND CONICAL WASHER ASSEMBLY
Some Cadillacs equipped with a 200-200C or 200-4R transmission may experience oil leaks from the oil pan and/or pan gasket. This condition has been
previously addressed in Serviceman Bulletins numbered T-84-37 and T-84-69.
A new latex-coated cellulose (hard fiber material) oil pan gasket has been released for service. Improved sealing is provided by better withstanding
fastener torques. This new gasket can be used on the models listed above that are equipped with an oil pan of the continuous raised rib design (refer to
Figure 1) and hex head screw with conical washer (refer to Figure 2).
Service Procedure
When servicing these transmissions for oil pan leaks or repairs involving removal of the oil pan, the following chart should be used to update the unit if
not equipped with an oil pan of the continuous rib design. The kit may contain a latex-coated cork gasket (soft material) which should be replaced with
the new latex-coated cellulose gasket (hard fiber material).
