A new final drive to transmission gasket (P/N 1627494) currently available through WDDGM has been released. When installing these gaskets, the listed service procedure must be used.

1. Apply a thin, even coat of anaerobic sealant (P/N 1052756) or equivalent onto both sides of the gasket.

2. Clean both gasket mating surfaces on the transmission and the final drive, and inspect these surfaces for nicks, machining lines, or warpage. Also ensure that the bottom edge of the final drive housing does not interfere with the transmission pan.

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