Caution: Do NOT use any type of grease to retain parts during the assembly of this unit. Using greases other than the recommended assembly lube changes the transaxle fluid characteristics. Using greases other than the recommended assembly lube causes undesirable shift conditions and/or filter clogging. Use TRANSJEL™ J 36850 or equivalent during the assembly of this unit.

1. Install the ball check valves (372) into the case cover. Use the J-36850 lubricant to retain the ball check valves in their proper locations.



2. Install the gasket and the spacer plate assembly (396).



3. Install the ball check valves (372, 373) into the valve body. Use the J-36850 lubricant to retain the ball check valves in their proper locations.




Note: Do NOT use impact type tools on the valve body or on the oil pump.

4. Install the spacer plate and gasket assembly (396) and the valve body (300).

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.




5. Install the valve body bolts (374, 381, 384).

6. Install the oil pump. Refer to Oil Pump Replacement.
7. Install the case side cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement.

Note: It is recommended that the transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset. Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the engine control module (ECM), powertrain control module (PCM) or transmission control module (TCM) will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

8. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions.
