Installation Procedure
- Jack up the driver side of the car until the driver side is higher than the differential side. This ensures that the reverse band is in the proper location and not cocked to the channel plate side of the case.
- Install the servo spring (49).
- Install the servo assembly (42-48).
- Install the reverse servo cover (40) with the new O-ring seal (41).
- Compress the servo cover (40) and install the snap ring (39).
- Install the exhaust crossover pipe. Refer to Exhaust Crossover Pipe Replacement (LS4) or Exhaust Crossover Pipe Replacement (LZE/LZ4/LZ8) .
- Install the air cleaner outlet duct. Refer to the following:
- Air Cleaner Outlet Duct Replacement for the 3.5L engine
- Air Cleaner Outlet Duct Replacement for the 3.9L engine
- Air Cleaner Resonator Outlet Duct Replacement for the 5.3L engine
- Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
IMPORTANT:
Follow this procedure exactly or the transaxle will have no reverse gear due to the servo pin missing the band.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that the transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset. Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
