Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 5445  Size: SH
  1. Install the TCC solenoid with the wiring harness to the transmission case.
  2. Install the pass-through electrical connector to the transmission case.
  3. Install the TCC solenoid bolts and screws.

  4. Object Number: 13880  Size: SH
  5. Install the pressure control solenoid.
  6. Install the pressure control solenoid retainer.

  7. Object Number: 13876  Size: SH
  8. Install the pressure control solenoid retainer bolt and screw.
  9. Tighten

        • Tighten the TCC solenoid bolts/screws to 11 N·m (97 lb in).
        • Tighten the pressure control solenoid bolt/screw to 11 N·m (97 lb in).

    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.
