Special Tools Required
Mainshaft holder 07GAB-PF50101 or 07PAB-0010000

1. Make sure that the ATF magnet is cleaned and installed in the torque converter housing. Clean and install the ATF magnet, if necessary.
2. Install the main separator plate and the two dowel pins on the torque converter housing. Then install the ATF pump drive gear (A), driven gear (B), and ATF pump driven gear shaft (C). Install the ATF pump driven gear with its grooved and chamfered side facing down.





3. Install the torque converter check valve spring and valve in the torque converter housing.
4. Install the main valve body (seven 6 mm bolt and three 8 mm bolts). Make sure the ATF pump drive gear (A) rotates smoothly in the normal operating direction, and the ATF pump driven gear shaft (C) moves smoothly in the axial and normal operating direction.





5. 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 torques, 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.
6. Install the lubrication check valve, cooler check valve* and cooler check valve spring* in the main valve body. Install the lubrication check valve in the direction shown in the exploded view.
