Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair
ON-VEHICLE REPAIRCAUTION: When working with FIPG material, you must observe the followings.
- Using a razor blade and a gasket scraper, remove all old FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
- Thoroughly clean all components to remove all loose material.
- Clean both sealing surfaces with a non-residue solvent.
- Apply FIPG in an approximately 1 mm (0.04 inch) wide bead along the sealing surface.
- Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
- Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reapplied.
