Part #17814 2 10/13/04
STEP #3: Carefully remove the ten 7/16” bolts which hold the valve body in place. Slowly pull
valve body out of transmission, noting the hole that the long swinging rod came out of.
It may be necessary to turn driveshaft to remove the rod. This rod controls your park
function. Most Torqueflites will have a large spring between one end of the valve body
and the case (Fig #1). This spring should not be put back in the vehicle when using
this kit. Some models will not have this large spring so be sure to check the accumula-
tor piston by pushing to see if a small spring is under it. If so, remove accumulator
piston and spring from transmission case. Then replace the accumulator piston only
into the transmission case.
STEP #4: The transmission valve body is a very intricate piece of your transmission, and there-
fore, care should be taken to keeping it clean while working on it. Lay valve body on a
bench or table so that the swinging arm is laying on the bottom. Remove three screws
from transmission filter. Remove filter and place to one side with the three screws
which held it. These screws must be used in the filter only.
CAUTION: Note position of filter before removing (Fig #2).
STEP #5: Remove 14 screws that hold transfer plate to the valve body (Fig #3). CAUTION: A
plastic filter is under transfer plate and makes it necessary to back off the spring
retainer screw a couple of turns (Fig #4). Also leave valve body laying down while
removing transfer plate or you will lose some of the balls in valve body (Fig #5).
STEP #6: Slide transfer plate to side and up. NOTE: The plastic filter can be thrown away when
separator plate is removed (Fig #6).
STEP #7: Lay transfer plate on bench with valve body separator plate showing. NOTE POSITION
of the small steel support on valve body separator plate. NOW REMOVE 6 screws
that hold valve body separator plate on the transfer plate. NOTE: Some will only
have 5 screws (Fig #7). If 1978 model valve body, see (Fig #8) for spring and plug
location. Remove spring and plug.
STEP #8: Remove old valve body separator plate. Remove ball or ball checks located in transfer
plate and discard (Fig #9). Remove plastic filter if your unit has one and discard. In-
stall new valve body separator plate with the 5 or 6 screws and small steel support.
Remove spring and plug on 1978 models. MAKE SURE while tightening the screws
that the transfer plate and valve body separator plate line up accurately (Fig #7).
STEP #9: Take valve body, remove seven balls and set one side (Fig #5).
STEP #10: Carefully remove 5 screws holding Governor Plug End Plate shown in Fig #10 and
then remove Shuttle Valve Throttle Plug shown in Fig #10. Insert the Special Rod
inside of spring shown in Fig #10. Now place the Spring, the Rod and the Shuttle Valve
Throttle Plug back in hole as it was originally.
STEP #11: Place 5 screws and Governor Plug End Plate back over valves in valve body and
tighten. Be sure that this plate sits perfectly flat. If it shouldn’t, grind small amount off
Special Rod that was in the kit. This normally should not be necessary, so double
check your work.
