16. Install the transaxle case gaskets as shown in the figure.






17. Apply sealant to the converter housing as shown in the figure.






NOTE:
- Spread sealant over the contact surface.
- Do not apply sealant to the transaxle case.

18. Install the converter housing before the applied sealant starts to harden.






CAUTION:
- Do not damage the O-ring on the oil pump component.
- Do not damage the oil seal (differential). (converter housing side)

NOTE:
- Tap all around the contact surface with a plastic hammer during installation.
