6. Valve Body Installation






Valve Bodies and ATF Strainer Installation





1. Install the main separator plate (A) and three dowel pins on the torque converter housing. Then install the ATF pump drive gear (B), driven gear (C), and ATF pump driven gear shaft (D). Install the ATF pump driven gear with its grooved and chamfered side facing down.





2. Install the main valve body (one 6 mm bolt and three 8 mm bolts). Make sure the ATF pump drive gear (B) rotates smoothly in the normal operating direction, and the ATF pump driven gear shaft (D) moves smoothly in the axial and normal operating direction.
3. If the ATF pump drive gear and ATF pump driven gear shaft do not move smoothly, loosen the main valve body bolts. Realign the ATF pump driven gear shaft, and retighten the bolts to the specified torque, then recheck. Failure to align the ATF pump driven gear shaft correctly will result in a seized ATF pump drive gear or ATF pump driven gear shaft.
4. Install the torque converter check valve and spring, and the cooler check valve and spring on the main valve body, then install the two dowel pins and the regulator separator plate.
5. Install the stator shaft and stator shaft stop.
6. Install the regulator valve body (eight bolts).
7. Install the two dowel pins and the servo separator plate on the main valve body.





8. Install the control shaft (A) in the torque converter housing along with the manual valve (B).
9. Install the detent arm (C) and arm shaft (D) in the main valve body (E), then hook the detent arm spring (F) to the detent arm.
10. Install the servo body (G) (five bolts).
11. Install the top accumulator body separator plate with two dowel pins on the servo body, then install the top accumulator body (seven bolts).
12. Install the ATF strainer (two bolts).
13. Install the servo detent base (two bolts).
14. Install the accumulator body (seven bolts).
15. Install the one ATF feed pipe in the servo body, four pipes in the regulator valve body, four pipes in the top accumulator body, and one pipe in the accumulator body.
