CAUTION: Inspect the transmission case bore to make sure it is free of foreign material and not damaged. If it is damaged, transmission leaks may occur.
Install the solenoid body. Tighten the screws in the sequence shown.
- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).

CAUTION: Damage will occur to the solenoid body assembly if the screw is tightened above specification.

NOTE: Always install new O-ring seals on the vehicle harness connector.

NOTE: Clean the area around the connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.

NOTE: Use petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring seals to aid in the installation process.
Install and lubricate new O-ring seals on the transmission connector and connect the connector.
- Tighten to 5 Nm (44 lb-in).
