Disassembly

NOTE: The pressure switches shown in this procedure will not be applicable to all vehicle applications. Some vehicles will not have the pressure switches or the harness installed in the valve body.





1. Remove the manual valve.





2. Remove and discard the solenoid body electrical connector O-ring seal.





3. Remove the main control valve body electrical-11 harness.
^ Remove the two bolts.
^ Disconnect the electrical connectors.
^ Twist and push the bulkhead connector through the solenoid body.
^ Remove the solenoid body electrical harness.





4. NOTE: Mark the location of each solenoid for correct installation.

Remove the retaining clips and remove the solenoids.





5. NOTE: Mark the location of each pressure switch for correct installation.

Remove the retaining clips, pressure switches (if equipped) and the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor.





6. Note the location and length of each bolt. Remove the four bolts and remove the top half of the main control valve body.





7. NOTE: The gasket should not be cleaned or reused. A new gasket should always be installed.

Remove and discard the gasket.

Assembly





1. Install a new gasket and the backing plate.





2. Install a new filter screen gasket.





3. NOTE: Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to prevent the gasket from becoming distorted.

Assemble the top and bottom halves of the solenoid body.





4. Install the pressure switches with the "W" retaining clips (if equipped) and the TFT sensor.





5. Install the shift solenoids with the "E" retaining clips.





6. Prior to installing the O-ring, push the solenoid body harness electrical connector through the solenoid body without any O-rings on it at all and twist it to lock it in place. Install a new O-ring on the solenoid body harness electrical connector in the uppermost groove.





7. Install the solenoid body harness and connect the connectors.





8. Install the manual valve.
