TRANSMISSION HOUSING
The converter housing and transmission are made from a light alloy. These are bolted together and centered via the
outer multi-disc carrier of multi-disc holding clutch, B1 (4). A coated intermediate plate provides the sealing. The oil
pump (2) and the outer multi-disc carrier of the multi-disc holding clutch, B1 (4), are bolted to the converter housing.
The stator shaft (19) is pressed into it and prevented from rotating by splines. The electrohydraulic control unit (16)
is bolted to the transmission housing from underneath. A sheet metal steel oil pan forms the closure.
Anodizing costs money, anodizing large parts cost more money, so no.
You can see the white powder forming which it would not do so readily if anodized.
Engine pan is steel as well, a die cast pan is easily damaged and costs more.
