    • Tag each part immediately when removed.
    • Use J 33163 Valve Tray Set to organize parts and to simplify correct valve body reassembly.
  • Protect control valve assembly parts from damage by observing the following precautions:
    • Handle all valves carefully.
    • Protect control valve assembly parts during removal, cleaning, inspection, and assembly.
    • Keep the parts in a clean container until the parts are installed.
  • When a valve is installed dry, the weight of the valve is sufficient to move the valve through the valve bore. If a valve does not move freely, the transmission may be damaged.
