74.
CAUTION:

- Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to the surface coated with the sealant. Never touch the degreased surface by hand.
- Make sure the starting point and the ending point are about the middle between the bolts.

Specified sealant:
Mitsubishi Part No. MD974421 or equivalent
NOTE:
Be sure to install the case quickly while the sealant is wet (with 15 minutes). Leaks will occur if the rear cover is installed after the sealant dries.

NOTE:
After installation, keep the sealed area away from ATF for approximately one hour.
