PVT SYSTEM

PVT ASSEMBLY

1. Inspect the inner PVT cover. Replace if cracked or
damaged. The mating surface must be clean to
ensure adhesion of new silicone sealant.
2. Be sure to "flame treat" the inner PVT cover prior to
applying silicone to ensure good adhesion. Pass the
flame of a propane torch back and forth quickly over
the area where the silicone is to be applied (2-3
inches from the flame tip is recommended). Do not
hold the torch too close to the surface. Keep the torch
moving to prevent damage.
3. Apply RTV silicone sealant to the outside edge of the
inner PVT cover to ensure a water tight fit between
the cover and the transmission.
