Two minor revisions to the AOD main control valve body are to be incorporated during the 1985 model year. These changes are:

1. A new plug retainer plate will replace the hairpin clip at the orifice control valve bore. (Refer to the main control valve body illustration in the 1985 Shop Manual for the location of the valve bore). The production incorporation date is approximately March, 1985.

2. As a calibration change, a new retaining plug with a pocket and a longer spring will be incorporated in the 2-3 backout bore. (Refer to the main control valve body illustration in the 1985 shop manual for the location of the valve bore). The production incorporation date was January, 1985.
