QU50453 4 Bolt Round Input Bearing Retainer Gasket

QU50453 Aftermarket 4 Bolt Round Input Bearing Retainer Gasket is a typical aftermarket gasket that does not meet original equipment specs for die cut dimensions, thickness or paper quality, however, for the low budget repair, it is far better to use one of these instead of assembling your case without gaskets! This gasket fits all 1973-1979 Ford direct mount 31 spline input NP205 and 1985-1991 GM NP205 32 spline input models with the big round 6 bolt transmission to transfer case bolt pattern. It also fits New Process NP203 transfer cases.

Tech Note 1: Before Installing
I do not recommend using a sealant with this gasket unless there are deep pits or gouges in the case or bearing retainer. If you do use sealant, apply just a very thin film of QU90005 RTV.
