NOTICE: The assembly of some components will require the use of an assembly lube. Always use J 36850 Transjel or petroleum jelly during assembly. Greases other than the recommended assembly lube will change the transmission fluid characteristics and cause undesirable shift conditions and/or filter clogging.
