AW70/AW71 overdrive bypass plate 200

My 91 240 sedan's AW70 overdrive got intermittent then quit. I found one on EBay for $16.99 plus $2.99 shipping. Since it was much cheaper than others, I wondered if lacked the o ring or something. It arrived quick with the required outer o ring and bolted right up. 100 miles later, no leaks and the overdrive engages every time. I would provide the following hints. The holes the mounting bolt goes into are bored all the way through, so it might have helped to squirt some penetrating oil up there the day before. The wrench I used was a stubby 12mm.

AW70/AW71 overdrive bypass plate 200

You got a much better deal than I. Got mine from IPD.
Mileage is much improved.
Install was easy. I dropped tranny for better access and sealed the plate with SEAL ALL.
