Control Valve Body: Installation

NOTE: Ensure the drive pin of the manual valve detent lever assembly engages the manual valve in the correct location prior to installing the bolts.
  1. Position the main control valve body gasket and main control valve body using the 2 alignment bolts as a guide. Loosely install inner valve body bolts. See Fig 1 . The main control valve body bolts will be tightened in later steps.
  2. Loosely install outer valve body bolts. See Fig 2 . The main control valve body bolts will be tightened in later steps. Install the manual control valve detent lever spring. See Figure .
  3. Position the manual control valve detent lever spring and install the bolt. Tighten the main control valve body bolts in the sequence shown. See Fig 3 . Inspect the lead frame for damage.
  4. Using the Transmission Solenoid Connector Gauge (307-426), check all the lead frame solenoid connections. See Fig 4 . The gauge should fit tightly and not fall out after being inserted. If the special tool passes through any lead frame connector pins or does not feel like it makes a good contact, install a new lead frame.
  5. Connect the molded lead frame to the solenoids. See Figure . Connect the bulkhead inter-connector by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place.
  6. Connect the EPC solenoid by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place. Ensure the terminals pass fully through the connector slots. Connect the TCC by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place.
  7. Ensure the terminals pass fully through the connector slots. Connect the shift solenoids "A" and "B" by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place.
  8. Ensure the terminals pass fully through the connector slots. Install the transmission fluid pan and filter. See DRAINING & REFILLING  under LUBRICATION.
  9. Lower vehicle. Fill the transmission with appropriate fluid to proper level and check for correct transmission operation. See LUBRICATION  .
