3 Install the inner and outer 1-2 accumulator springs.
4 Install the 1-2 accumulator cover and seal.






43. Install the 1-2 accumulator springs and install the accumulator piston retaining ring.






44. NOTE: This is not an ordinary installation procedure and does not compensate for band wear. When a new piston and rod assembly becomes necessary, or when a new reverse band has been installed, the reverse piston and rod length must be adjusted.

NOTE: Lubricate the reverse piston seal to facilitate assembly and prevent damage to the seal.

Install the reverse servo piston and return spring.






45. Install the special tool.
^ Tighten the bolt.






46. Install the special tool.
^ Position the indicator stem on the flat portion of the reverse servo piston and zero the dial indicator.






47. Loosen the bolt until the piston stops against the tool.






48. Verify the amount of piston travel on the dial indicator is within specification.






49. If piston travel is not within specification, select and install the correct servo assembly to bring the servo piston travel within specification.
1 One groove
2 Two grooves
3 Three grooves






50. Remove the special tools.






51. Install the reverse servo assembly.
1 Install the rod.
2 Install the piston assembly.
3 Install the reverse servo piston cover and seal.






52. Using the special tool, install the reverse servo retaining ring.
1 Compress the reverse band servo.
2 Install the reverse band servo retaining ring.






53. Install the 2-3 accumulator assembly.
1 Install the accumulator piston.
2 Install the accumulator piston spring.
3 Install the accumulator spring retainer.






54. Using the special tools apply regulated air pressure to the test ports. Verify that the components are applied and released.






55. NOTE: The tab on the electrical connector is secured by main control valve body.

Install the electrical connector into case.






56. NOTE: The alignment bolts are valve body assembly bolts and are in the valve body.

Align the main control valve body alignment bolts and position the main control valve body.

2 Install the bolt.






60. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown.






61. inspect the lead frame for damage.
^ Using the special tool, check all lead frame solenoid connections. 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.






62. Connect the molded lead frame to the solenoids.
^ Connect the bulkhead inter-connector by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place.
^ Connect the EPC solenoid by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place. Make sure that 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. Make sure that the terminals pass fully through the connector slots.
^ Connect the shift solenoid SSA and SSB by pressing it in place by hand and fully seating the connector in place. Make sure that the terminals pass fully through the connector slots.






63. Install the fluid filter and seal assembly.






64. Position the pan magnet onto the fluid pan.






65. NOTE: The pan gasket is reusable; clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the gasket should be reused.

1 Position the transmission fluid pan with the gasket in place.
2 Install the bolts.






66. Install the digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor.
1 Install the digital TR sensor.
2 Loosely install the digital TR bolts.






67. NOTE: The tool is designed to fit snug.

NOTE: Manual shift lever must be in the neutral position.

Using the special tool, align the digital TR sensor slots.
