The five (5) bolts used to attach the final drive gear housing (7F334) to the case, housing and stator support assembly (7F430) have been revised to include a high strength thread adhesive. The addition of this adhesive changes the bolt part number to E4FZ-7A291-
A. The new bolt has been incorporated into production on all transaxles built after 11/10/83.
Whenever the final drive gear housing (7F334) is removed for any service procedure, new bolts must be used to re-assemble.
It is not recommended to clean the threads and apply thread adhesive to previously used bolts. Bolt torque requirements remain at 24-32 N-m (18-23 ft.lbs.).
