Main Control Valve Body: Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Before beginning assembly, carry out and inspect the following:

When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and seals.

All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated. In addition to appearing in the section, the necessary torque measurements can be found in the General Specifications Chart.

When building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean transmission fluid. It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed in the case.

Needle bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with clean transmission fluid during subassembly buildup or transmission assembly.

Many components and surfaces in the transmission are precision machined. Careful handling during disassembly, cleaning, inspection and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to machined surfaces.

NOTE: Inspect the shift solenoid O-rings and TCC solenoid O-rings for damage.

Install the valve body cover plate.
1. Position the valve body cover plate gasket and cover plate.
2. Loosely install the 2 guide pin bolts.
3. Loosely install the remaining bolts.
