A new final drive to transmission gasket (Part No. 1627494) currently available through WDDGM has been released. When installing these gaskets, the listed service procedure must be used.

3. Position the gasket onto the final drive unit, and install the final drive as outlined in the appropriate Buick Chassis Service Manual.
