    Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

    

Installation

1. Install in the reverse order of removal.

   Add automatic transmission fluid (ATF). (Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid") Perform the Transmission Control Module (TCM) learning after replacing the valve body to prevent slow transmission response, jerking during acceleration, and jerking at start. (Refer to Automatic Transmission Control System - "Repair Procedures")
