    Object Number: 31212  Size: SH
  1. Assemble the oil pump cover (206) and the oil pump body assembly (203).

  2. Object Number: 31213  Size: SH

    Important: The tab on the vent passage splash shield (239) fits into the hole in the oil pump cover. The hole in the vent passage splash shield (239) fits under the bolt head.

  3. Install the vent passage splash shield (239).
  4. Install the oil pump cover bolts (220). Tighten the bolts with your fingers only.

  5. Object Number: 31217  Size: SH
  6. Install an oil pump bolt and seal assembly (3) into an oil pump bolt hole.
  7. Important: The outside diameter of the oil pump body assembly and oil pump cover must be properly aligned before the alignment band can be tightened. This ensures that the oil pump fits into the transmission case opening and maintains maximum oil pump efficiency.

  8. Install the J 21368 onto the transmission oil pump assembly and tighten.
  9. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  10. Tighten the 5 oil pump cover bolts (220).
  11. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts to 24 N·m (18 lb ft) in an alternating pattern.

  12. Remove the J 21368 and the oil pump bolt and seal assembly (3).

  13. Object Number: 31219  Size: SH

    Notice: Coat the transmission oil pump seal with J 36850 or equivalent. This will ease assembly and prevent damage to the seal.
