Valve Body: Installation: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 RAM 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If the valve body is being replaced, a quick learn must be performed using the scan tool. Refer to MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL, MODULE PROGRAMMING .
NOTE:
Apply petroleum grease to all slide portions, rolling contacts surfaces, thrust surfaces etc. to prevent burnout during initial operation. Lubricate O-rings and O-ring seals with MOPAR® ASRC ATF. Soak all friction disks in MOPAR® ASRC ATF for at least two hours before assembly of clutch packs.
- Lubricate the seals on the electrical connectors with MOPAR® ASRC ATF and install the valve body electrical harnesses (1) into the transmission case.
- Install the valve body electrical harness connector bolts (3). Tighten the bolts to 8 N.m (71 in.lbs.).NOTE:
Bolts with conical washers are not reusable.
- Install valve body on a slight angle and verify that the shaft on the manual shift valve (2) and the roller detent spring (3) has properly engaged the manual valve lever.
1 - 32.2 mm HEX BOLT 2 - 43 mm HEX BOLT 3 - 77.5 mm HEX BOLT 4 - 42.5 mm HEX BOLT 7 - 16 mm HEX BOLT * = temporary hand tighten bolts. - Install the valve body onto the transmission case.
- Install and then tighten the bolts in the following order:
- Install bolts 2* and tighten by hand in order to hold valve body onto transmission case.
- Install detent cover (6) and spring (5) and bolts (2), (7) and tighten by hand.
- Install bolts (1), (2), (3) and (4) on each correct position and tighten by hand.
- Tighten bolts 2* to 10 N.m (88 in.lbs.).
- Tighten bolts (2), (3), (7), to 10 N.m (88 in.lbs.).
- Verify all bolts are torqued to specification.
- Connect the brown/red wire onto the Linear Solenoid number 5 (4).
- Connect the light green/yellow wire onto the Linear Solenoid 4 (5).
- Connect the sky blue/green wire onto the Linear Solenoid 3 (6).
- Connect the yellow/white wire to the Linear Solenoid 1 (7).
- Connect the brown/red wire to the Linear Solenoid 2 (8).
- Connect the black/blue wire to the On/Off solenoid (9).
- Connect the blue/gray wire to the Linear Solenoid SLU (10).
- Connect the purple/black wire to the Linear Solenoid SLT (1).
- Secure the valve body solenoid harness at clamps.
- Connect the input speed sensor connector (2).
- Lubricate the oil temperature sensor with ASRC trans fluid and install the oil temperature sensor in the valve body (11).NOTE:
The oil temperature sensor harness hold down clamp uses a 16mm bolt. Torque to 10 N.m (88 in. lbs.).
- Install the oil pressure switch in the valve body (3).
- Secure the oil pressure switch harness that is protected with clamps.
1 - VALVE BODY 2 - TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER 3 - 19.8 MILLIMETER FLANGE BOLTS - Lubricate transmission oil filter o-ring with MOPAR® ASRC ATF.
- Install the transmission oil filter (2) into the valve body (1).
- Install the bolts (3) and tighten to 10 N.m (88 in.lbs.).
1 - PICK-UP MAGNETS 2 - MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG NOTE:Before installing the transmission oil pan be certain to inspect and clean the pick-up magnets (1) as well as the magnetic drain plug bolt (2).
- Using a new gasket install the oil pan onto the transmission case.
- Tighten oil pan bolts to 7 N.m (62 in.lbs.).
1 - DRAIN PLUG - Install oil pan drain plug bolt (1).
- Tighten oil pan drain plug to 22 N?m (16 ft. lbs.) torque.
- Lower vehicle and fill transmission with MOPAR® ASRC ATF.
- Check and adjust gearshift cable, if necessary.
