- Excess gasket material left on any case surfaces
7. Inspect the bolt holes for thread damage. If necessary, repair any bolt holes.

Notice: Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment which may damage the component.

Notice: After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or paper towels in order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause component failure.

8. Thoroughly clean the housing assembly, including threads, with clean solvent.
