Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility is key when working with the 01033854B. It is designed for specific models under the OPEL, FIAT, ALFA ROMEO, ABARTH, and VAUXHALL banners that utilize the M20 or M32 manual transmission codes.
Installation Tips:
- Always clean the housing bore thoroughly to remove any old adhesive or debris before insertion.
- Apply a light film of clean transmission fluid to the inner lip of the seal to prevent initial friction heat.
- Use a seal driver of the correct diameter to ensure the seal enters the housing perfectly square.
- Do not force the seal; if it does not seat easily, verify there are no burrs on the shaft or housing.
Care: Avoid using harsh solvents when cleaning the area around the seal, as this can degrade the rubber compound over time.
