Accumulator Spring Identification (All) - ATSG AXOD Update Handbook

ACCUMULATOR SPRING IDENTIFICATION
COMPLAINT: Shift quality complaints of various types, mostly harsh shift complaints, after the
transmission has been overhauled.
CAUSE:
The accumulator springs may have been installed in incorrect positions, or the accumulator
piston shafts are scored or worn and are interfering with proper accumulator piston
movement. It is also important to insure that multiple accumulator spring applications must
have the springs wound in opposite directions of each other to avoid coil bind, as shown in
Figure 49.
CORRECTION: Ensure that the accumulator springs have been installed in their proper locations. Refer to
Figures 49 and 50 for accumulator spring identification and position. We have also provided
you with the accumulator spring specifications in Figure 51.
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Part numbers for each accumulator spring is provided in the chart in Figure 50.
