94 CAMRY ATM (A541E) FLUID SEEPAGE




Automatic transmission fluid seepage may occur from the ATM housing on the '94 model Camry with the A541 E Automatic Transaxle at the M10 bolt hole, casting knock hole, or MS bolt hole (see Fig. 1).

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Remove Transaxle Assembly.
2. Thoroughly clean the affected bell housing bolt holes and guide pin boss area with a cleaner such as "Brake Kleen" or equivalent. Use compressed air to ensure all fluids are removed and surface is completely dry and clean.
3. Using a sealer such as Loctite Weld Stik" (available at local parts supply stores), seal the M8 bolt hole and casting knock hole. Twist off desired amount of sealant and knead the sealer until uniform in color, not to exceed two minutes.

Recommended MS/Knock Hole Sealant:
Loctite "Weld Stik" (P/N - 14600-R)




4. Fill the MS bolt hole cavity and knock hole with sealant. Firmly compress sealer into cavity. Once sealer is solidly compacted, quickly remove excess sealer from bell housing surface using a razor blade to prevent difficult removal after set-up (see Fig. 2).




5. Using one of the two sealants noted below, coat the M10 bolt threads and install (See Fig. 3).
6. Install Transaxle Assembly.

Recommended M10 Sealant:
Three Bond 1324 (P/N - TB1324) / Loctite Pipe Sealer 565-21

CURING TIME:

Allow sealants ONE HOUR to cure after installation prior to adding transmission fluid.
