  3. IMPORTANT:
    • Bolt (2) is slightly longer than the other bolts (1).
    • The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch is retained by five bolts (1) and by bolt (2).
  4. Remove five bolts (1), and one bolt (2), retaining the TFP switch to the main valve body.
  5. Remove the reverse signal pipe (2) from the main valve body (3).

  8. Remove the modulated main pressure solenoid valve body assembly (2) and six speed tube.
  9. Remove the six speed tube from the modulated main pressure solenoid valve body.
  10. Remove the modulated main pressure solenoid retainer (5) from the bottom of the valve body (2).
  11. Remove the modulated main pressure (MAIN MOD) solenoid (6).
  12. Remove the 2 O-rings (3 and 4) from the MAIN MOD solenoid (6).
  13. IMPORTANT: The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid (PCS) retaining bracket (2) must not be modified. Note that the angle between the 2 bracket surfaces is less than 90 degrees. Replace the bracket if the angle is 90 degrees or more.

  39. Remove eleven bolts (1) retaining the shift valve body and the main valve body together.
  40. Position the control valve module on the work table so that the main valve body is facing up. Reinstall four bolts (1) so that the bolts are partially threaded into the shift valve body and protrude from the main valve body.
  41. Position the control valve module on edge so that the top and bottom are vertical.
  42. Gently tap the bolts until the module separates.
  43. Position the control valve assembly on the work table so that shift valve body (1) is facing up.
  44. Separate shift valve body assembly (1), separator plate (2), and main valve body assembly (4).
