Installing Valve Body

• If it has not yet been done, move selector element - A  - to this position.

This corresponds to selector lever position "2".

• Insert new seals - arrows  - in transmission housing.

It is essential to make sure that seals do not slip when valve body is set in place.

• Install valve body, engaging pin of selector segment in groove of spool valve.
• Secure valve body with 2 bolts.
• Remove rubber band from spool valve.

The operation of the spool valve must be checked now! 

• Shift selector shaft from 2 to 3 and back.

You can continue with assembly if spool valve - arrow  - moves as well.

• Valve body must be removed again if spool valve - arrow  - does not move as well.
• Tighten bolts for valve body - arrows  - hand-tight.
• Tighten bolts to 8 Nm, working from inside outwards.

• Clip wiring harness for transmission sensors - 3  - into retaining tabs - 4  - provided.
• Push on connectors - 1  - and - 2  -.

Apply sealant D 176 404 A2   to valve body cover as follows:

• Cut off tube nozzle at forward marking (nozzle approx. 3 mm dia).

• Apply sealant to clean sealing surface of valve body cover as shown. The sealant bead must be:

• 3 to 4 mm thick
• and run along inside edge of bolt holes - arrows  -.

Applying a wider bead with good intention does not seal better , but rather leads to malfunctions.

• Install valve body cover - 2  -.
• Tighten valve body cover bolts diagonally in several stages.
• Push breather cap - 1  - onto valve body cover.
• Install and adjust Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR) Switch F125. Refer to Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR) Switch F125 , removing, installing and adjusting  .
