Continued operation risks significant damage to the entire powertrain, resulting in extensive repair costs.
Installation Tip
Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and ensure all seals and O-rings are properly seated and lubricated before assembly. Avoid over-torquing fasteners, as this can distort the component or damage the mounting threads.
