- NOTICE: Remove the valves by tapping the valve body on the
palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores or by threading a 4-mm
bolt into the valves and pulling them out. It may be necessary to remove the
valves and springs using a pick. If it is necessary to use a pick, use
extreme caution to prevent damaging the valves or valve bores. If necessary,
disassemble parts of the main control valve body in small groups. Take
special care when handling the main control components, since they are the
most precise and delicate parts of the transmission. Neatly arrange the
parts as they are removed to avoid mixing similar pieces.
NOTE: The bypass valve is held in with a spring-loaded retainer. Be careful not to lose the retainer when removing it.
Use a pick to remove the bypass valve retainer.
General Equipment: Magnet, 4-mm bolt.
- NOTICE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the
valves can occur. If the valves do not move freely, install a new assembly.
Clean the valves, springs and main control valve body.
- NOTICE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the
valves can occur. If the valves do not move freely during assembly, install
a new valve body.
For valve and spring locations refer to the Valve Body illustration at the beginning of this procedure.

Solenoid Body
- If not previously done, separate the solenoid body from the valve body.
- Compress the valve springs and remove the retainers with a magnet.
Remove the individual valves and springs from the solenoid body by tapping
it on the palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores.
General Equipment: Magnet.
- NOTICE: Be careful not to bend or twist the solenoid body
leadframe or the solenoid terminals when removing the leadframe or damage
can occur to the leadframe or the solenoids.
Lift straight up evenly.
- NOTICE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are
not all the same. Failure to mark the solenoids to the ports they were
originally in can result in mixing the solenoids and can cause damage to the
transmission or a harsh shift.
Number the solenoids and the solenoid body to correspond with the ports from which the solenoids are located in the solenoid body.
- NOTICE: Be careful not to wash the numbers from the solenoids
or the solenoid body. Failure to install the solenoids in the ports they
were originally in can result in damage to the transmission or a harsh
shift.
NOTICE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the valves can occur. If the valves do not move freely during assembly, install a new solenoid body.
Clean and inspect the solenoid body, solenoids and valve assemblies for damage.
- Inspect the solenoid screens for debris that may restrict fluid flow through the screen.
- NOTICE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are
not all the same. Failure to install the solenoids in the ports they were
originally in can result in damage to the transmission or a harsh shift.
If new solenoid(s) are not being installed, position the solenoids in the solenoid body ports from which their numbers correspond.
- If installing a new VFS , determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The TCC solenoid, SSA and SSC are all normally low pressure solenoids. The LPC solenoid, SSB and SSD are all normally high pressure solenoids. The SSE is not a VFS , it is an ON/OFF solenoid.
- If installing new solenoids, note the color of the plastic nozzle and the large O-ring. High pressure solenoids, such as the LPC solenoid, SSB and SSD , have black plastic nozzles and orange O-rings. Low pressure solenoids, such as the TCC solenoid, SSA and SSC , have brown plastic nozzles and green O-rings. The solenoids can only be replaced with the same color solenoid.
- Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is next to the two-dimensional matrix barcode on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid.
- Solenoid retaining pins.
- Special Tool(s): Pins, Leadframe Guide 307-636.
- NOTICE: Be careful not to bend or twist the solenoid body
leadframe or the solenoid terminals when installing the leadframe or damage
can occur to the leadframe or the solenoids.
Push straight down evenly.
- NOTICE: If the valves do not move freely during assembly,
install a new solenoid body. Failure to install a new solenoid body can
result in a harsh shift or damage to the transmission.
For valve and spring location, refer to the Solenoid Body illustration at the beginning of this procedure.
