These fasteners are specifically engineered components utilized in the assembly and maintenance of the control unit within certain General Motors automatic transmissions. Their primary function is to secure the control unit to the transmission housing, ensuring proper hydraulic sealing and operational integrity. An example of their application is in the repair or replacement of the transmission control unit within the 6T70 transmission model.
The correct specification and installation of these elements are critical for the reliable performance of the transmission. Improper torque or the use of incorrect hardware can lead to fluid leaks, pressure loss, and ultimately, transmission failure. Their historical context is tied to the development and evolution of electronically controlled automatic transmissions, where precise control and robust construction are paramount for optimal operation and longevity.
