Valve Body Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit, 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit, 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit, and 2006 Volkswagen Rabbit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

Do not run the engine or tow the vehicle when the transmission fluid pan is removed or when there is no Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) in the engine.

The valve body and the wiring harnesses can also be removed with the transmission installed.
Install the O-rings using ATF. Other types of lubricants lead to faults in the transmission hydraulics.
Always replace a dirty or faulty valve body.
Only use lint free cloths
Check the ATF level after installing the transmission fluid pan. Refer to ATF LEVEL, CHECKING AND FILLING .
