Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure that removal of the valve body is necessary before proceeding.

    Important:  The following components can be serviced without removing the valve body from the transmission:

    • The torque converter clutch solenoid (1)
    • The pressure control solenoid (2)
    • The internal wiring harness (3)
    • The 2-3 shift solenoid (4)
    • The 1-2 shift solenoid (5)
    • The transmission fluid pressure manual valve position switch (6)
    • The 3-2 shift solenoid (7)
    • The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid (8)
