A steel gasket is now available which seals the engine-to-gearbox joint. The new gasket may be fitted to-all Saabs equipped with a 2.0 liter engine.
Steel Gasket - P/N 75-14-946 (universal configuration)
As with earlier steel gaskets, it is constructed of thin steel and has a light coating of bonded sealant applied. Additional sealant (hi-temp silicone sealant) is applied only at the grooves at each end of the gasket. The bonded sealant is used up when the gasket is installed and may only be used once.
ALWAYS USE A NEW GASKET.
Installation Procedure:
1. Thoroughly clean both sealing surfaces and position a new gasket (P/N 75-14-946). Be sure that both engine/gearbox alignment dowels are in the gearbox to insure proper alignment.
2. Apply hi-temperature silicone sealer (min. 500~F) to the grooves at each end of the gasket (see arrows).
NOTE! Additional sealant around the gasket is not necessary. Apply only at the grooves.
3. Mate the engine and gearbox together as soon as possible.
