Disassembly and Assembly















DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the torque converter clutch solenoid (TCC solenoid) and the shift solenoid
(1) Remove the bolt.
(2) Remove the torque converter clutch solenoid.
(3) Remove the shift solenoid.





2. Remove the three reinforcement plates.
(1) Remove the ten main control valve body separator plate bolts.
(2) Remove the three reinforcement plates.





3. Remove the separator plate and discard the gaskets.





4. Remove the eight coasting booster valve shuttle balls.

NOTE: Note the location of the eight coasting booster valve shuttle balls for assembly.





5. Remove the converter drain back valve and solenoid pressure supply screen.





6. Remove the main control valve body cover plate.
(1) Remove the thirteen bolts.
(2) Remove the valve body cover plate and gasket.





ASSEMBLY
1. Install the valve body cover plate.
(1) Position the valve body cover plate gasket and cover plate.
(2) Install the two guide pin bolts.
(3) Install the valve body cover plate bolts.

NOTE: Before beginning assembly, perform/inspect the following:
- When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and seals.
- All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated.
- When building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean transmission fluid. It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed in the case.
- Needle bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with petroleum jelly during subassembly buildup or transmission assembly.
- Many components and surfaces in the transmission are precision machined. Careful handling during disassembly, cleaning, inspection and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to machined surfaces.
