Cleaning & Inspection

  1. Wash all parts in clean solvent and dry them with compressed air. DO NOT use rags or water. Lint from rags can cause problems with ATF flow after reassembly. Check all parts for burrs and scores. Replace assembly if damaged.
    NOTE: Valves which are slightly scored may be reused if they slide under their own weight after cleaning and lubrication with fresh ATF. This scoring will not affect transmission operation.
  2. Check all valve body springs for damage or collapsed coils. Some transfer plates are equipped with three sealing balls. See Figure . If transmission did not shift into 3rd gear, trouble may be caused by missing sealing ball.
