CONTROL VALVE BODY DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY

Control Valve Body Disassembly

Caution
^ Denting or scratching these components will reduce the ability of the transaxle to shift properly. When handling these components or the valve body that contains them, be careful not to drop or hit them.

Warning
^ Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air.
