5. Prepare a new oil seal. Apply a thin layer of transmission sealant to the outer lip of the new seal.

7. Prepare the area to install the protective cover. Clean the area around the oil seal hole and apply a thin coat of transmission sealant.
8. Install the protective cover. Reinstall the protective cover and tighten the bolts to 10 Nm.
9. Clean off any remaining sealant. Remove any excess sealant that has come out using a rag.
10. Reinstall the engine protection. Reinstall the lower engine guard and tighten the bolts.
11. Lower the vehicle. Slowly lower the vehicle from the jacks and stands.
12. Check the transmission fluid level. Start the engine and drive the vehicle for a short time. Then check the transmission fluid level and add it if necessary.
