34. Lower Valve Body Overhaul
REMOVAL PROCEDURE- Tools Required
- J 34673 Flat Gage Bar
1. Remove one bolt and the direct clutch solenoid (7125) from the lower valve body.
2. Remove one bolt and the second brake solenoid (7129) from the lower valve body.
3. Remove the following parts from the lower valve body:
- The cooler bypass valve (7142) and spring (7141)
- The number 2 valve body key (7134) and shift valve plug (7135)
- The 2-3 shift valve (7145) and spring (7146)
- The number 1 valve body key (7130) and shift valve plug (7135)
- The secondary regulator valve (7144) and spring (7143)
4. Remove the following parts from the lower valve body:
- The number 1 valve body key (7130) and the B2 control valve plug (7131)
- The B2 control valve (7132) and spring (7133)
- The number 2 valve body key (7134) and shift valve plug (7135)
- The 1-2 shift valve (7136) and spring (7137)
5. Remove six bolts (7138) in order to release the lower valve body cover (7139) and the lower valve body gasket (7140).
6. Clean all parts thoroughly with solvent. Air dry.
7. Inspect the lower valve body for the following conditions:
- Valve bores for distortion or damage
- Fluid passages for blockage
- Surface warp. Place a J 34673 across the lower valve body mating surface. Rotate the tool every 30 degrees checking for surface warp. If lower valve body surface warp exists, replace the lower valve body.
8. Inspect all valves, springs and attaching parts for unusual wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
9. Inspect the direct clutch and the second brake solenoid O-rings for cuts or damage. Replace as necessary.
