Assembly Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the control valve body spacer plate and gasket assembly (396) for the following root cause:
- Plugged holes
- Damaged gasket sealing surfaces
- Plugged or damaged screen/seal assemblies (382)
- Inspect each ball check valve seat (one at a time) on the spacer plate (370) for excessive peening.
- Place a ball check valve (372) on each seat
- Use a flashlight to look for visible light between the ball check valve and the seat.
- Install 4 ball check valves (372) into the case cover (400), in the positions shown. Use J 36850 or equivalent in order to hold the ball check valves in the case cover (400).
- Install the 2 larger ball check valves (373) and the 4 smaller ball check valves (372) into the control valve body (300). Use J 36850 or equivalent in order to retain the ball check valves in the control valve body (300).
- Install the screen/seal assemblies (382) into the spacer plate and gasket assembly (396).
- Install the NEW spacer plate and gasket assembly (396) onto the control valve body (300).
- Install the bolts (368) to hold the spacer plate and gaskets onto the control valve body (300).
- Install the control valve body alignment sleeve (410) into the case cover (400).
- Use the control valve body alignment sleeve (410) and turbine shaft sleeve in the case cover (400) as guides.
- Be sure that the ball check valves do not drop out of the control valve body (300) during assembly.
- Install the control valve body (300) onto the case cover (400).
- Install the transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch assembly (395) onto the control valve body (300).
- Install the control valve body bolts (374-381, 384) as indicated.
- Tighten the bolts in a spiral pattern starting with the bolts at the center of the control valve body.
- If the bolts are tightened at random, valve bores may become distorted and inhibit proper valve operation.
- Tighten the control valve body bolts (374-381, 384).
