SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform diagnostics as outlined in the appropriate Service Manual. Refer to Figure 1 for the models affected.
2. If condition still exists, remove the control valve body separating plate.
a. Remove both separating plate gaskets.
b. Wipe excess oil.
c. Examine the separating plate for deformation in the intermediate band servo area, Figure 2.
