Repair
NOTE: This repair is only necessary if one or more
of the valves in a valve body do not slide smoothly
in their bores. Use this procedure to free the valves.
1.
Soak a sheet of #600 abrasive paper in ATF for
about 30 minutes.
2.
Carefully tap the valve body so the sticking valve
drops out of its bore.
CAUTION: It may be necessary to use a small
screwdriver to pry the valve free. Be careful not to
scratch the bore with the screwdriver.
3.
Inspect the valve for any scuff marks. Use the ATF-
soaked #600 paper to polish off any burrs that are
on the valve, then wash the valve in solvent and dry
it with compressed air.
4.
Roll up half a sheet of ATF-soaked paper and insert
it in the valve bore of the sticking valve.
Twist the paper slightly, so that it unrolls and fits
the bore tightly, then polish the bore by twisting the
paper as you push it in and out.
CAUTION: The valve body is aluminum and
doesn't require much polishing to remove any
burrs.

5.
Remove the #600 paper and thoroughly wash the
entire valve body in solvent, then dry with com-
pressed air.
6.
Coat the valve with ATF, then drop it into its bore. It
should drop to the bottom of the bore under its own
weight. If not, repeat step 4 and 5, then retest. If the
valves still sticks, replace the valve body.
7.
Remove the valve, and thoroughly clean it and the
valve body with solvent. Dry all parts with com-
pressed air, then reassemble using ATF as a lubricant.
