notch(See Fig. 7). The TV torsion
spring pushes the TV lever against
the TV plunger. Failure to position
this spring properly will result in
erratic shifting.
STEP 22. Make sure rubber grommet
is installed in the new filter supplied
with kit. Install the cork filter gasket on
filter using a dab of grease to hold it in
place (See Fig. 2.). Coat the filter
grommet with clean ATF and install
filter on valve body. Push the filter
straight on to avoid damaging the
rubber grommet. Install (3) M6x16
(0.63") bolts and torque to 80-100

lb.in. (9-11 Nm).
STEP 23. Remove any old pan gas-
ket material from pan and case pan
rail. Clean inside of pan with solvent.
If you recall what a mess draining the
pan was, you may want to install a
B&M Drain plug kit (80250) at this
time. Install the new pan gasket on
the pan and align the holes. Use grease
or petroleum jelly to help hold the
gasket in place during installation of
pan. Place pan up to case, align holes
and install all bolts finger tight. After
all bolts have been installed, torque
bolts to 72-124 lb. in. (8-14 Nm). If the bolts are over tightened the gas-
ket will deform excessively and lead
to oil leaks.
STEP 24. Fill transmission with fresh
automatic transmission fluid to the
full mark on the dip stick. We recom-
mend B&M Trick Shift transmission
fluid for all applications, particularly
for Street Level applications. You will
need approximately 6 to 8 quarts.
TV Linkage Adjustment
STEP 25. TV Linkage Adjustment:
Normally the TV linkage does not
need to be adjusted after installing
the valve body. Proper installation of
this kit will not change the setting of
the linkage (follow instruction proce-
dures). The linkage normally requires
adjustment only when the transmis-
sion is installed in the vehicle or when
there is a new carburetor or throttle
body installed. We recommend, how-
ever, performing a Line and TV pres-
sure check to check whether or not
the TV Linkage is properly adjusted
(See Oil Pressure Chart). If the pres-
sure check indicates TV linkage ad-
justment is required see the TV link-
age adjustment section on the follow-
ing pages. The pressure test will also
give you a good indication of the
transmissions condition.
Line Pressure Test Results
Low at idle in all ranges: Check for
low fluid level, clogged or damaged
filter, loose valve body bolts, stuck
pressure regulator valve, missing
pressure regulator spring or oil tem-
perature too hot from excessive
W.O.T. test.
Low at W.O.T. but O.K. at idle:
Check for low oil level, clogged filter,
damaged or out of adjustment TV
linkage, Sticking TV or TV limit valve
in valve body.
STEP 26. Inspect the transmission
for leaks with engine running. Lower
vehicle and check fluid level again
adjusting level as required. Test drive
vehicle and recheck for leaks while
transmission is hot.

Line Pressure check
*On the AOD transmission two pressure readings must be taken: One at idle
(closed throttle, Zero TV Press.) and another at wide open throttle
(W.O.T., Full TV Press.).
*Engine and transmission should be at normal operating temperature for
test.
*During test at W.O.T. (stall) the wheels must be locked to prevent any
vehicle motion.
*DO NOT operate at W.O.T. Stall for more than 10 seconds at a time,
followed by at least 2 minutes in Neutral at 1000 RPM to cool the oil.
*Connect a 0-300 PSI (0-2000 kPa) pressure gage to the line pressure port
located just above the control levers on the right side of the transmission
(See Fig. 8). The gage hose must be long enough to read gage while
operating engine.
*Connect a 0-100 PSI (0-690 kPa) gage (300 PSI gage will work if it’s all you
have) to the TV Pressure tap on the right hand side of the transmission
(See Fig. 8). The gage hose must be long enough to read gage while
operating engine.
*Idle pressure must be read with throttle off the fast idle cam.
*Pressures listed apply to stationary vehicle only. In 3
rd and 4 th gears line
pressure is lower (cut back) than shown for “all other ranges”.
