6T45 control valve body cover gasket: a bounded 24234281 answer
For the 6T45 intent, exact OE 24234281 is confirmed in a specific MH7 EPC context; fitment v3 also retains an MHC context. GM's hard identity remains Automatic Transmission Control Valve Body Cover Gasket, Classification OE. The controlling evidence is E617.
Why the 6T45 context matters
A GM public product page may show a broad vehicle list, but that list cannot be used to assign an RPO to each vehicle. This article connects the part to 6T45 through the readable MH7 application context in E617. The exact vehicle RPO still needs its own verification.
The market label oil pan gasket appears in supplier language, but it is not the hard GM name. Technically, 24234281 should be described as a control valve body cover gasket; an industry label must remain attributed.
How this differs from the 6T40 page
The owner intent here is 6T45, so the main section is built around the MH7/6T45 evidence. The 6T40 question has a separate owner page using its MH8 context. Both pages use the same exact OE, but neither claims “24234281 belongs only to this transmission.”
We also keep this component separate from 24266842 in E618. That number belongs to a different Gen3 case/intercase gasket family, not the control valve body cover gasket.
Use the VIN/RPO method for the specific vehicle, then include VIN/RPO and market in the RFQ.
