Select-a-Seal Durability and Robustness Case Study
Transmission Oil Pan

Rubber-on-steel Overmolded Gasket

undefined

Transmission pan gasket users were dissatisfied with the high cost of rubber-onsteel overmolded gaskets. In thermal cycling tests, the test gaskets failed in under 265 hours due to delamination around bolt holes and stress relaxation.

A Select-a-Seal gasket, combining compression and adhesion, easily passed a customer mandated 1000- hour thermal cycling test, and exceeded the customer's requirement by 2.5 times (at which time the test was suspended).


Test Cycle:

-40C to 150C Continuous Cycle, 4 hours total (6 complete cycles per day) 2 psi continuous ATF pressure, static charge non-circulating

  • Lower unit cost
  • Eliminated field complaints
  • Improved customer satisfaction
