Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 61053 is engineered for the throttle body mounting point in the air and fuel delivery system, where a stable seal is critical to maintaining proper airflow and fuel control. Fel-Pro’s sealing approach focuses on vehicle-specific materials rather than a one-size-fits-all design, helping the gasket conform to the intended application. This part is a practical choice for service on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Buick Century when the original throttle body gasket needs replacement. The Fel-Pro 61053 part number is also commonly searched by technicians and DIY repair buyers looking for a premium throttle body gasket for GM 3.1L/3.4L-era applications.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO 35466 and MAHLE G31581 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Air leaks at the throttle body mounting surface

Installation Notes and Tips

• Clean both mating surfaces before installation to remove old gasket material and residue.
