Condition	Possible Sources	Action
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch does not apply	Solenoid filter blocked to SSC	REFER to Solenoids .
SSC mechanically stuck OFF		INSTALL a new SSC. REFER to Solenoids .
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve stuck OFF		DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve. If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control. REFER to Main Control -- Overhaul .
SSC SIG, CB26, CB26FD/CB1234FD hydraulic circuits blocked/leaking		DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control and separator plate passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to Main Control -- Overhaul .
CB26 supply hydraulic circuit blocked or leaking		DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the transmission cover passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to Main Control -- Overhaul .
Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly		INSPECT the sun gear and shell for wear and damage. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to Transaxle -- Overhaul .
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction plates		DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction and steel plates. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to Transaxle -- Overhaul .
