Installation

IMPORTANT: Be sure the upper and lower valve body halves are clean and free of lint and dirt. Valve Body should be assembled in a clean area.





1. Install new spacer plate gaskets on spacer plate.
2. Install two transaxle ball check valves in lower valve body, on top of springs. (Refer to illustrations.)
3. Install spacer plate on top of lower valve body and transaxle ball check valves.
4. Install transaxle ball check valve on top of spacer plate.





5. Install two halves of valve body and install the one bolt holding the two halves together (3).

IMPORTANT: The dowel bolts must be placed in the holes shown to align the upper valve body to the lower valve body. For reference, the bolts are identified as follows:

1) Valve Body-to-case dowel bolts
2) Upper-to-lower valve body dowel bolts
3) Bolt holding upper and lower valve body

6. Lube solenoid valve O-rings.





7. Install first design solenoid valves in the pressure control and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) positions (1) using a twisting motion. First design solenoids have a maroon colored top.
8. Install second design solenoid valves in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions (2) using a twisting motion. Second design solenoids have a white top, and a filter indicated by the arrow in the illustration.





9. Check connector plate terminals with a #43 (2.25 mm) drill bit. There should be a slight drag on the shank. If there is no drag, replace the connector plate.

NOTICE: Over-torquing bolts can cause valves to bind.





10. Torque solenoid cover bolts using torque sequence shown in illustration.

Torque: 11 Nm (97 inch lbs.)

11. Install valve body assembly. (Refer to "Valve Body Installation" procedure.)
