VALVE BODY (Continued)
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with
use. If the valve body functioned correctly when new,
it will continue to operate properly after cleaning and
inspection. It should not be necessary to replace a
valve body assembly unless it is damaged in han-
dling.
The only serviceable valve body components are
listed below. The remaining valve body components
are serviced only as part of a complete valve body
assembly. Serviceable parts are:
• dual solenoid and harness assembly
• solenoid gasket
• solenoid case connector O-rings and shoulder
bolt
• switch valve and spring
• pressure adjusting screw and bracket assembly
• throttle lever
• manual lever and shaft seal
• throttle lever shaft seal, washer, and E-clip
• fluid filter and screws
• detent ball and spring
• valve body screws
• governor pressure solenoid
• governor pressure sensor and retaining clip
• park lock rod and E-clip
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place
during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves
and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve
body components should all slide into place easily.
In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate
and valve body screws during reassembly. Over-
tightening can distort the housings resulting in
valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory
operation. Tighten valve body screws to recom-
mended torque only.
