Solenoid Body Assembly: Installation

NOTE: Do not handle the solenoid body in the leadframe area or by the screens of the solenoid body filter or damage to the solenoid body may occur.

NOTE: Use care not to break the alignment tabs when installing the solenoid body filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the solenoid body is not correctly aligned.

NOTE: Make sure that the filter passage areas are clean of foreign material before installing the filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the filter passages are not clean.

Install a new solenoid body filter assembly by pushing it straight down on to the alignment tabs.

NOTE: Make sure not to pinch the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS), Output Shaft Speed (OSS) or Transmission Range (TR) sensor wiring harnesses when installing the solenoid body. Damage to the wiring harness will occur.

NOTE: Install the different length bolts in the locations noted during disassembly.
