  5. NOTE: Do not bend the manual valve rod clip when removing the manual valve rod. If the manual valve rod clip is bent back to remove the manual valve rod instead of sliding it off, the manual valve rod clip will become permanently distorted causing total loss of transmission control or transmission failure. If the manual valve rod clip is bent, install a new manual valve rod clip.
