Accumulator Assembly, Spacer Plate & Gaskets: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install a new 3-4 accumulator piston seal (1) to the 3-4 accumulator piston. See Figure . Install the 3-4 accumulator pin (1) into the transmission case and retain the pin with Transjel(tm). See Figure . Install the 3-4 accumulator piston (2) onto the pin (1) in the transmission case. Ensure that the 3-4 accumulator piston legs face away from the transmission case.
- Install the Locating Pins (J 25025-B) (2, 3) to the transmission case. See Fig 1 . Install the spacer plate-to-transmission case gasket and the spacer plate-to-valve body gasket to the spacer plate; use Transjel(tm) in order to retain the gaskets to the spacer plate. See Figure . The case gasket is identified by a "C". Be sure to place the case gasket on the transmission case side of the spacer plate.
- The valve body gasket is identified by a "V". Be sure to place the valve body gasket on the valve body side of the spacer plate. Ensure that the solenoid screens (1, 2) are in place on the spacer plate. Place the check ball (3) on the spacer plate in the location shown. Place the 3-4 accumulator spring (4) on the spacer plate. See Fig 2 . Install the spacer plate and related components to the transmission.
- Install the spacer plate support and the spacer plate support retaining bolts. See Figure . Tighten the spacer plate support retaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . After installing the spacer plate support (2), look through the hole in the spacer plate to ensure that the check ball (1) has remained in the proper location. See Fig 3 . Install a new 1-2 accumulator piston seal (1) to the 1-2 accumulator piston. See Figure .
- Install the 1-2 accumulator inner and outer springs to the 1-2 accumulator cover. Install the 1-2 accumulator piston onto the pin in the 1-2 accumulator cover. Ensure that the piston legs face the accumulator cover. See Figure . Install the 1-2 accumulator cover and the accumulator cover retaining bolts. See Figure . Tighten the accumulator cover retaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Remove the guide pins from the transmission case.
- Install the control valve body. See VALVE BODY & PRESSURE SWITCHES . Install the transmission oil pan and filter. See DRAINING & REFILLING under LUBRICATION. Lower the vehicle. Fill the transmission to the proper level with appropriate fluid. See LUBRICATION .
