1. Remove any dirt or oil from the transmission housing sealing surface. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08C70-K0234M) to the sealing surface. Make sure you seal the entire circumference of the bolt holes to prevent oil leakage.
   NOTE: If 5 minutes have passed after applying liquid gasket, reapply it, and assemble the housings. Allow it to cure at least 20 minutes after assembly before filling the transmission with oil.
