SERVICE INFORMATION
Some of the Applied Models equipped with the F01A Automatic Transaxles may exhibit transmission fluid leakage from the converter housing and/or
the front cover gasket area(s). To improve the sealing performance at these locations, new bolts for the torque converter housing and the front cover are
now used in production, and the tightening torque for these bolts has been changed to eliminate this condition. In addition, a new torque converter
housing gasket is available as a service replacement part for these vehicles.
PARTS/TORQUE INFORMATION
If transmission oil leakage is observed at the indicated areas, or if transaxle service is required, upon disassembly of the front cover and/or torque
converter housing, thoroughly clean and inspect (for porosities, surface damage, etc.) all mating surfaces. Install a new converter housing gasket and
new bolts, being certain to apply sealant to the appropriate bolts (see Service Manual). Torque as indicated below.
After assembly has been completed, test drive the vehicle, then inspect the incident area to ensure a proper seal between the mating halves.
