Makes 🢒 Chevrolet 🢒 1996 🢒 Monte Carlo 🢒 Transmission/Transaxle 🢒 Automatic Transaxle - 4T60-E 🢒 Control Valve Body Disassemble

Caution: Valve springs can be tightly compressed. Use care when removing retainers and plugs. Personal injury could result.

Important: Position the control valve assembly on a clean surface before disassembly.

Important: All valves, springs, and bushings must be laid out on a clean surface in exactly the same way in which the parts are removed. This will aid reassembly.
