sealers are Mopar Gasket Maker (or Loctite 518) for
all flange joints and Loctite Ultra, heavy body sili­

NOTE; It is very important that the transmission
shift components be in Neutral position during
assembly. This is necessary to prevent damaging
synchro and shift components when the housings
are installed.
Transmission gears, shafts, and synchro compo­
