Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Service Precautions

Contact Corrosion

• The transmission housing consists of a magnesium alloy.

• Bolts and other components which have direct contact with the transmission have a surface coating which is matched to the magnesium transmission housing.

• Contact corrosion occurs when incorrect components (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used. The transmission housing will be damaged.

• If you are not sure about the suitability of parts, install new one.


Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
