Main Control Valve Body: Assembly

WARNING: When using compressed air, never let air pressure exceed 172 kPa (25 psi) and always wear safety glasses. Compressed air may cause foreign material or parts to become airborne. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: If the valve sticks in its bore and cannot be freed, install a new main control valve body.

NOTE: Clean the main control valve body and accumulator body assembly of the main control in cleaning solvent. Blow dry with moisture-free regulated compressed air. The solenoid valve body should not be cleaned in cleaning solvent. It may be blown clean with compressed air or wiped clean with a lint-free cloth.

Install a new intermediate and overdrive accumulator plug seal and coat with petroleum jelly.
