The automatic transmission pan seal (automatic transmission) is an elastic part designed to eliminate possible gaps between the pan and the gearbox. The use of a seal allows, due to a tight fit, to prevent the ingress of lubricating liquids and impurities contained in them on the mechanisms and units of the vehicle.

The pallet seal is located in the vehicle in the gap between the gearbox and the pallet. This part prevents oil and suspensions that it contains from getting into key parts of the car, thereby preventing the occurrence of unpleasant malfunctions. Quite often, motorists neglect the use of seals in favor of a sealant, which is far from the best solution.

The conditions of usage of the seal

The VAICO brand Seal, automatic transmission oil pan is made of a special shrinkage material, the properties of which make it possible to prevent oil leakage. But, like any other auto part, this spare part is inevitably subject to wear and tear during operation. It, in turn, is fraught with the loss of elasticity of the product and the appearance of cracks, which prevents the full performance of the tasks assigned to the laying. To avoid trouble, you should carry out a technical inspection of the vehicle with a certain regularity, which will be able to identify the problem at the initial stage and quickly fix it.
