Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Clean and inspect the reverse servo piston bore and the reverse band servo piston and rod.
Install the reverse band servo piston and rod into the servo bore along with a reverse servo return spring.

NOTE:
- If the piston travel in this step is 3-5.6 mm (0.120-0.220 in), it is within specification. If the piston travel is greater than 5.6 mm (0.220 in), use the next longer piston and rod. If the piston travel is less than 3 mm (0.120 in), use the next shorter piston and rod.
Back out the servo gauge adjusting screw until it bottoms out on the tool. Record the distance the servo piston traveled.

CAUTION:
- Make sure the test spring is removed after this step.

Use the above procedure to check the piston travel with the newly selected reverse band servo piston and rod (if required) to make sure that the piston travel is 3-5.6 mm (0.120-0.220 in). Remove the servo gauge and the reverse band servo return spring.

Grooves are located on reverse servo rod.

Lower the vehicle.
NOTE:
- When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle re-learns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts either soft or firm and this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
Connect the negative battery cable.
Fill the transmission to the proper fluid level and check for proper transmission operation. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRELIMINARY INSPECTION , .
