Important: Some models are assembled with stamped steel control valve body covers.
Some models are assembled with cast aluminum covers that have machined surfaces
and threaded bolt holes. Refer to the following procedures accordingly.
- Inspect the control valve body cover (53) for the following:
Stamped Steel
| • | Dents to the gasket sealing surfaces |
| • | Dents anywhere that may cause interference during assembly |
| • | Flatness of the gasket sealing surfaces |
- Inspect the control valve body cover gasket (54) for nicks or
other damage.
- Inspect the control valve body cover (53) for the following:
Cast Aluminum
| • | Cracks, nicks, or other damage to the gasket seal surfaces |
| • | Bolt holes for damaged or stripped threads |
| • | Cracks or porosity in the casting |
- Inspect the control valve body cover gasket (54, 59) for nicks
or other damage. With the aluminum valve body cover, you may reuse any non-damaged
gaskets.
Important: Do not use bolts with inverted conical washers when you assemble the
stamped steel control valve body cover.
- Inspect the bolts (52) for inverted washers.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Affix the cover
gasket onto the transmission case assembly:
Stamped Steel Side Cover
| • | Affix the steel cover inner cover gasket onto the case cover. |
| • | Position the steel cover onto the case. |
| • | Finger start the bolts and nuts. |
Tighten
| • | Tighten the bolts (52) to 25 N·m (18 lb ft). |
| • | Tighten the nuts (50) to 12 N·m (106 lb in). |
- Affix the cover gasket
onto the transmission case assembly:
Cast Aluminum Side Cover
| • | Affix the inner valve body cover gasket onto the case cover. |
| • | Position the aluminum cover onto the case. |
| • | Finger start the bolts in the positions shown. |
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
