Torque Converter Assembly (1)

Perform an electrical performance test. If no concern was verified electrically, inspect the torque converter assembly (1) for signs of internal damage caused by an external issue such as mount bolts too long in length or thread repair. Replace the torque converter assembly (1) making sure that the correct flexplate mounting bolts are used.

•	3-4, 4-5 Shift Solenoid Valve Assembly (S4) (303)

•	TCC Lock Up Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (SLU) (339)

Verify that all solenoids respond electrically. If there is no response, perform an electrical diagnosis. If there are no electrical concerns, remove the solenoid valve assembly as needed, and inspect the solenoids O-ring seals, and bores for signs of damage and/or missing seals. If the valves responded electrically and there are no bore or seal concerns, replace assembly as required due to a possible internal mechanical concern and retest. If after replacing the valve assembly in question, a concern is still present, replace the complete control valve body assembly (39).

Internal Control Valve Body Assembly (39)

•	Secondary Regulator Valve (436)

•	U2 Shift Valve (392)

•	Solenoid Relay Valve (378)
