  2. Install the 3-4 accumulator pin into the transmission case and retain the pin with transjel lubricant.
  3. Install the 3-4 accumulator piston onto the pin in the transmission case. Ensure that the 3-4 accumulator piston legs face away from the transmission case. See Figure .
  4. Install the pump/valve body alignment pin set to the transmission case.
  5. Install the spacer plate to transmission case gasket and the spacer plate to valve body gasket to the spacer plate; use transjel lubricant in order to retain the gaskets to the spacer plate. The case gasket is identified by a "C". Be sure to place the case gasket on the transmission case side of the spacer plate. The valve body gasket is identified by a "V". Be sure to place the valve body gasket on the valve body side of the spacer plate.
  6. Ensure that the solenoid screens are in place on the spacer plate.
  7. Place the checkball on the spacer plate in the location shown.
  8. Place the 3-4 accumulator spring on the spacer plate.
  9. Install the spacer plate and related components to the transmission.
  10. Install the spacer plate support and the spacer plate support retaining bolts. See Figure . Tighten the spacer plate support retaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  11. After installing the spacer plate support, look through the hole in the spacer plate to ensure that the checkball has remained in the proper location.
  12. Install a new 1-2 accumulator piston seal to the 1-2 accumulator piston.
  13. Install the 1-2 accumulator inner and outer springs to the 1-2 accumulator cover.
  14. Install the 1-2 accumulator piston onto the pin in the 1-2 accumulator cover. Ensure that the piston legs face the accumulator cover.
  15. Install the 1-2 accumulator cover and the accumulator cover retaining bolts. See Figure . Tighten the accumulator cover retaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  16. Remove the alignment pin from the transmission case.
  17. Install the control valve body. See VALVE BODY & PRESSURE SWITCH  .
  18. Install the transmission oil pan and filter.
