Control Valve Body and Gaskets Assemble

Important: Some models are assembled with stamped steel control valve body covers. Some models are assembled with cast aluminum covers that have machined surfaces and threaded bolt holes.





1. Inspect the control valve body cover for the following:
Stamped Steel
^ Dents to the gasket sealing surfaces
^ Dents anywhere that may cause interference during assembly
^ Flatness of the gasket sealing surfaces





2. Inspect the control valve body cover for the following:
Cast Aluminum
^ Cracks, nicks, or other damage to the gasket seal surfaces
^ Bolt holes for damaged or stripped threads
^ Cracks or porosity in the casting
3. Inspect the valve body cover gaskets for nicks or other damage. If the gaskets for the aluminum valve body cover are not damaged then the gaskets are reusable.

Important: Do not use bolts with inverted conical washers when you assemble the stamped steel control valve body cover.





4. Inspect the bolts (52) for inverted washers.





5. Affix the cover gasket onto the transmission case assembly.
