57. If removed, install the parking pawl abutment with a new Torx(-head screw.

CAUTION: The Torx-head screw has a thread-locking compound. If the screw is removed, it must be discarded and a new one installed.





58. Install the (A) parking rod guide plate with the (B) bolts.

NOTE: Make sure the dimple on the parking guide support plate is facing inward and the parking pawl actuating rod is in the parking rod support plate slot.





59. Place the new extension housing gasket on the extension housing.

NOTE: Lightly lubricate the gasket with petroleum jelly to hold it in place during assembly.





60. Install the (A) extension housing, the 8 (B) bolts, and the (C) stud.





61. Using the (A) Extension Housing Seal Replacer, install a new (B) extension housing seal.





62. Tighten the (A) center support assembly feedbolts and the (B) intermediate/overdrive cylinder assembly feedbolts.





63. Install the (A) spring and the (B) steel EPC check ball.

NOTE: The steel EPC check ball has a 0.25 inch diameter and is smaller than the other check balls.





64. Install the 8 rubber check balls.

CAUTION: Use care not to damage the rubber check balls.





65. Install a new separating plate-to-case gasket on the separating plate.





66. Install the valve body separator plate.

NOTE: Check the placement of the steel EPC check ball.





67. Install the (A) separating plate reinforcing plate, with the stamped word UP visible, and install the (B) bolts.





68. Install a new main control-to-separating plate gasket.





69. Install the solenoid screen assembly by pushing it in and rotating it to lock.
