  3. Install valve body as follows:
    1. Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park gear. Rotate overdrive output shaft with suitable size 12 point socket; this will free pawl and allow rod to engage.
    2. Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are fully seated in case.
    3. Install and start all valve body attaching bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a diagonal pattern to 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Do not overtighten valve body bolts. This could result in distortion and cross leakage after installation. 
    CAUTION: It is possible for the park rod to displace into a cavity just above the pawl sprag during installation. Make sure the rod is actually engaged in the pawl and has not displaced into this cavity.
  4. Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter screws to 4 N.m (35 in. lbs.).
  5. Install the transmission range sensor.
    CAUTION: If the condition of the transmission before the overhaul procedure caused excessive metallic or fiber contamination in the fluid, replace the torque converter. Fluid contamination and transmission failure can result if not done.
  6. Install torque converter. Use C-clamp or metal strap to hold converter in place for installation.
