STEP #1:
Transmission should be cool before installing valve body. If vehicle is on the ground,
secure so it will not roll. Drain transmission oil by carefully removing pan bolts.
Recommend leaving a couple of bolts partially attached until some of the oil has drained off.
STEP #2:
Before removing valve body, take note how the small passing gear linkage on the outside
of the case, driver’s side, moves back and forth. Note how it springs back smoothly, no bind.
STEP #3:
Take 7/16” socket and remove the eight bolts which hold the valve body in place.
Carefully lower the valve body. (Some valve bodies have nine bolts).
STEP #4:
The valve body is a very intricate part of the transmission and, therefore, requires a clean
place to be worked on. Also, you must take your time and you will have no problems
installing the Street Manual/Automatic Valve Body.
CAUTION
STEP #5:
If transmission is a 4 X 4 type, you will need to change filter.
CAUTION
STEP #6:
If your valve body was retained by eight bolts, follow steps in Figure #2.
STEP #7:
Before installing new valve body, note the levers in the transmission which engage the
Manual Control Valve and the passing gear valve. They must line up with the valve body
properly. Do not install Detent Bracket at this time.
STEP #8:
Lift the new valve body into transmission, carefully aligning the Manual Control Valve with
the shift lever. At the same time, wiggle the passing gear linkage on the outside of
transmission case until it feels like mentioned in STEP #2.
STEP #9:
Start all bolts (Note long one goes through filter). Tighten all bolts down being sure that
the shift lever and passing gear linkage are working properly. Bolts should be tightened to
8-10 ft/lbs. Also, place Detent Bracket into place at this time (Figure #1).
STEP #10:
Clean pan and install new Pan Gasket #34130C. Replace pan on transmission and tighten
all bolts securely.
