Part #17255E 5/27/04 Page #4
STEP #12: Before re-installing valve body into transmission, take note of the plastic half ball
shaped neutral-switch on the driver’s side of the transmission inside of the
transmission case. When installing the valve body, make sure this ball does not
get damaged. Either remove the switch or merely slide the valve body carefully
over the ball. The ball will retract as the valve body puts pressure on it. Also,
do not install large spring which may have been between valve body and case.
STEP #13: Place valve body back into transmission pushing the rod into hole that was
mentioned in STEP #3. The rod should be angled towards the center of the
transmission in the front. Push rod firmly towards rear while turning drive shaft.
BUT DO NOT FORCE ROD OR VALVE BODY.
STEP #14: With valve body in place, install 10 valve body bolts and tighten to 8-10 ft./lbs.
Note position of #17390 wire restraint, Fig. #4. Place solenoid wires thru restraint.
STEP #15: Carefully connect solenoid wires to case connector. Be sure wires are clear of
park rod, Fig. #5.
STEP #16: Adjust front band at this time (see instructions page #1).
STEP #17: Clean pan and install with a new pan gasket.
STEP #18: Replace shift linkage (large piece) and tighten bolt. Adjust linkage to be sure that
shifter is selecting all gears properly.
CAUTION: This unit is PRND21.
STEP #19: Remove all kickdown linkage from carburetor down to the transmission.
STEP #20: Connect 2 color coded #16 wires to the #17388E case connector ( Note the
yellow wire is the 1-2 shift and the white wire is the 2-3 shift). Run the other end
of the wires to the CHEETAH E-SHIFT Controller, First shift Sol. and Second
Shift Sol. Outputs, Fig. #7. Requires 12-16 Volts signal from #70600 Controller.
STEP #21: Refill transmission with a good Dexron Mercon or type “F” ATF fluid. It will usually
take about 5 quarts of oil. DO NOT OVERFILL! Warm transmission up, select all
gears, and then recheck oil level. Always check level of transmission fluid when
in neutral, but put parking brake on as a safety measure or have someone hold
foot brake while checking. Shift Pattern is PRND21.
You must hookup your Pit Road and Burnout Connections on your
CHEETAH E-SHIFT Controller!
STEP #22: In an area where you can safely check shifts with rear wheels in the air, apply
Pit Road switch while in D(3) position on your shifter. Put your foot on the brake
lightly and increase the rpm slowly and check for both shifts.
STEP #23: If all checks okay take car out and drive around in Pit Road Mode and be sure
the transmission is shifting okay!
