TRANSMISSION
722.901

P27.10-2139-06

To improve fluid supply to the transmission,

the transmission oil pan and the overflow tube

have been redesigned.

The characteristic sloped surface (arrow) can

be used to identify the new oil pan (1). This oil

pan configuration should be installed only

together with the white overflow tube (2).

The fluid temperatures used as references for

checking and refilling are different with the

new components.

Whenever a transmission is removed for repairs, the earlier oil pan (3) with the black overflow

tube (4) should be replaced by the new sloped-surface version (1) with the white overflow tube
(2).
