(32) Install valve body as follows:
(a) Align and carefully insert park rod into pawl.
Rod will make click noise as it enters pawl. Move
rod slightly to check engagement.
(b) Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case. Also be sure valve body wiring
is not pinched or kinked.
(c) Install and start all valve body attaching
bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a diag-
onal pattern to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Do not
overtighten valve body bolts. This could result in
distortion and cross leakage after installation.
CAUTION: It is possible for the park rod to displace
into a cavity just above the pawl sprag during
installation. Make sure the rod is actually engaged
in the pawl and has not displaced into the cavity.
(33) Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter
screws to 4 N·m (35 in. lbs.).
(34) Adjust front and rear bands.
(35) Install new valve body manual shaft seal in
case (Fig. 54). Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft
with petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into
case. Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket.

(36) Thread the transmission range sensor mount-
ing bracket into the transmission case, if necessary.
Use Adapter 8581 and an appropriate torque wrench

in.lbs.) (Fig. 55).
(37) Install the transmission range sensor (Fig. 56)
into the mounting bracket with the electrical connec-
tor facing the front of the transmission. Install the
screws to hold the sensor to the mounting bracket
and tighten to 3.4 N·m (30 in.lbs.).
