• Prevents CVT fluid leaks and external contamination
• Simplifies cover reinstallation with accurate fit
• Sold as a single gasket for one cover replacement

Can I install this gasket myself, and what should I prepare?

Basic mechanical skills and common tools are sufficient for a DIY gasket swap if you follow a repair manual or step-by-step guide. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly, torque bolts to manufacturer specifications, and replace fluid if any was lost during removal.

• Required: clean workspace, socket set, torque wrench
• Recommended: parts cleaner or brake cleaner for mating surfaces
• Follow Subaru torque specs and bolt sequence for best seal
• Check for transmission fluid level and top or replace as needed
