Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Disconnect the external wiring harness from the transmission main connector. Use J 44257 if the connector is not easily accessible. See Special Tools .
- Remove the oil pan and transmission internal oil filter. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .
- Place a 30 mm (1 3/16 in) 12-point deep socket or box-end (2) over the connector (1).
- Push inward on the socket or wrench to release the retainer feet that attach the connector (1) to the transmission case.
- Remove the wrench. Push inward on the electrical connector to separate it from the transmission case. This allows the internal wiring harness to remain with the control valve assembly when removed.
- Remove the 2 detent spring bolts (3). Remove the detent spring assembly (2).
- Disconnect the internal wiring harness from the detent lever/IMS assembly.
- Remove 10 bolts at locations marked (1) and 4 bolts at locations marked (2). Support the control valve assembly, about 10 pounds, and remove the last bolt marked (1).
- Lower the control valve assembly (1) to clear the locating pins (2) in the transmission case.
- Move the control valve assembly (4) sideways to disengage pin (1) in the manual selector valve (2) from the slot in detent lever (3). Remove the control valve assembly (4).
CAUTION:
Refer to BATTERY DISCONNECT CAUTION
in Cautions and Notices.
IMPORTANT:
The transmission main connector is actually one end of the internal harness that protrudes through the transmission case.
IMPORTANT:
As the control valve assembly is removed, be careful not to lose the manual selector valve pin or allow the manual selector valve to slide out of the control valve assembly.
