- Remove the 1-2 accumulator assembly. DO NOT remove the spacer plate. See ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY .
- Disconnect the internal wiring harness electrical connectors from the transmission fluid pressure switch, 1-2 shift control solenoid, 2-3 shift control solenoid, pressure control solenoid, TCC PWM solenoid and 3-2 shift control solenoid. See Fig 1 .
- Remove the TCC PWM solenoid retainer. Remove the TCC PWM solenoid to access one of the TCC solenoid retaining bolts. See Fig 3 .
- Remove the pressure control solenoid retainer. Remove the pressure control solenoid. See Fig 4 . Remove the TCC solenoid retaining bolts and the valve body bolts which retain the internal wiring harness. See Fig 5 .
- Using power piston seal protector and diaphragm retainer installer, release the pass-through electrical connector from the transmission case. See Fig 6 . Use the small end of the power piston seal protector and diaphragm retainer installer over the top of the connector. Twist to release the 4 tabs retaining the connector. Pull the harness connector down through the transmission case.
