Spacer Selection Chart
b. Using feeler gauge D81L-4201-A or equivalent, measure the gap between the mounting pad and the straight edge. Repeat the procedure for the
other mounting pad. Select spacers of the required thickness from the chart.
CAUTION: Failure to measure the required spacer thickness will result in insufficient or excessive clearance between the engine oil pan and the
transmission when installed in the vehicle. This can result in oil pan damage and/or an oil leak.
c. Install the selected spacers to the mounting pads on the rear of the oil pan before bolting the engine and transmission together.
CAUTION: This installation procedure requires the use of hand tools only. The use of power tools or hammering on the installer can damage the
sleeve and seal.
