No 4th Gear After Rebuild





Many repair manuals (including those from Chrysler) have an improper illustration of the 3-4 timing valve line up. If the valve is installed backward, the result will be no fourth gear (even though the computer is supplying the proper ground signal). The proper way to assemble the 3-4 timing valve is spring first then the valve.
