Installation Procedure
- Jack up the driver side (channel plate side) of the car until it is higher than the differential side. This ensures that the reverse band is in the proper location and not cocked to the channel plate side of the case.
- Install the servo spring (49).
- Install the servo assembly (42-48).
- Install the reverse servo cover (40) with new O-ring seal (41).
- Install the right exhaust manifold. Refer to Exhaust Manifold Replacement - Right Side (L26) or Exhaust Manifold Replacement - Right Side (LS4) .
- Depress the reverse servo cover.
- Install the snap ring (39).
- Install the exhaust flange crossover pipe and heat shield. Refer to Exhaust Crossover Pipe Replacement (L26) or Exhaust Crossover Pipe Replacement (LS4) .
- Install the air cleaner intake duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Inlet Duct Replacement .
- Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
IMPORTANT:
Follow this procedure exactly or the transaxle will have no reverse gear due to the servo pin missing the band.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
