Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 97366 Size: SH

    Important: The seal must be installed as shown. If it is not installed, or is installed in the wrong location, the transmission will operate only in reverse.

  1. Install the 2-1 manual servo piston assembly seal. Lubricate the seal with automatic transmission fluid.
  2. Install the 2-1 manual servo piston assembly and the filter. Make sure that the servo pin engages the band assembly.

    3. Object Number: 97365 Size: SH
  3. Install the accumulator assembly.

    4. Object Number: 97336 Size: SH

    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.

  4. Install the 2-1 manual servo piston cover bolts.

    5. Tighten
    Tighten the 2-1 manual servo piston cover bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

  10. Inspect the transaxle fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
  11. Inspect the oil pan gasket for leaks.

    12. Important: It is recommended that 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 TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

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