  5. If the white line is not seen in the slot, replace the pin using the following pin identification:
  6. • One groove, pin length 65.82--66.12 mm (2.59--2.60 in)
    • Two grooves, pin length 67.23--67.53 mm (2.65--2.66 in)
    • No grooves, pin length 68.64--68.94 mm (2.70--2.71 in)
  7. Remove the pin and the J 33037 Band Apply Pin Tool.

  8. Object Number: 102350  Size: SH
  9. Check the 2nd apply piston and the housing dimension.
  10. Measure the piston dimension

  12. Check the table for the transmission and piston/housing specifications. Refer to 2-4 Band Servo Piston Pin Selection .

Assembly Procedure


    Object Number: 7758  Size: SH
  1. Install new seals on all the 2-4 servo pistons and the cover.

  2. Object Number: 7759  Size: SH
  3. Install the servo cushion spring and the cushion spring retainer in the 2nd apply piston. Use the J 22269-01 in order to compress the second apply piston.
  4. Install the second apply piston retaining ring.

  5. Object Number: 5430  Size: SH
  6. Install the following parts:
  7. • The 2nd apply piston pin
    • The spring
    • The washer
    • The retainer ring

    Object Number: 102349  Size: SH
  8. Install the following parts:
  9. • The servo return spring
    • The 4th apply piston

    Important: 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 ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn the TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

  10. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Adapt Function .
