body in place. Engage all of the re-
maining bolts to finish lining up the
separator plate and gaskets (See
Fig. 2.) Tighten all the valve body,
auxiliary valve body (or cover) and
accumulator bolts (except cross
over tube clamp bolts and throttle
valve linkage bolts) to 11 NM (8 Lb.
Ft.) Avoid striped threads, Do not
over tighten bolts.
STEP 20. Install the throttle valve
(TV) linkage onto the valve body as
shown (See Fig. 12.) Engage the
cable link with the large lever first.
Hold the large lever up and the smaller
one down. Then slip the assembly
into position aligning it with the hold
down bolt holes and engage the roll
pin in the slot on the bracket. Insert
bolts and tighten to 11 NM (8 Lb. Ft.)
then make sure large lever operates
freely. IMPORTANT: The TV cable
MUST be reset before operating ve-
hicle refer to step 24.
STEP 21. Carefully insert ends of
cross over tube in their respective
bores and push them in evenly until
fully engaged (See Fig. 2.) Install
cross over tube bolts and clamps and
tighten to 11 NM (8 Lb. Ft.)
Reconnect wiring harness con-
nectors to the terminals from which
they were removed. Refer to sketch
or notes made at Step 3. Reconnect
the harness to the case connector
making sure it is firmly seated and
locked.
STEP 22. Double check installation;
1: make sure all bolts are installed
and torqued.
2: Throttle valve linkage operates
freely.
3: Wiring properly connected.
4: Regulator valve retaining ring fully
seated in groove. (See Fig. 6).
Coat the filter pickup tube seal
with clean ATF then push the filter
tube into the pump bore until it is fully
seated. Install filter retainer clip so it
is located at the small depression on
the top side of filter housing (See
Fig. 2).
STEP 23. Remove any old pan gas-
ket material from pan and case pan
rail. Clean inside of pan with solvent.
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 petro-
leum jelly to help hold the gasket in
place during installation of pan. Do
not use any gasket sealer or sili-
cone compounds. To prevent pre-
mature band failure make sure the
Servo Vent hole shown in Fig. 2 is not
obstructed. Place pan up to case,
align holes and install all bolts finger
tight. Tighten bolts to 14 NM (10 Lb.
Ft.) Do not over tighten bolts. If the
bolts are over tightened the gasket
will deform and result in oil leaks.
STEP 24. You must reset the TV
cable before operating vehicle, Fig-
ure 13 shows the correct procedure.
Failure to reset the TV cable may
result in poor shift quality and/or trans-
mission failure.
STEP 25. Fill transmission with ATF
to the full mark on dip stick. You will
need about 4 to 6 quarts. Dexron II is
fine for Heavy Duty Level applica-
tions however, we recommend B&M
Trick Shift ATF for Street level
applications. With vehicle still off the
ground, start the engine and shift
transmission through all gears. Check
for leaks around oil pan flange and
drain plug. Place selector in neutral
and check the fluid level. Stop engine
and lower vehicle.
STEP 26. Test drive vehicle and re-
check for leaks while transmission is
hot. Check fluid level again, adjusting
level as required.
Engage this link before
installing bolts.
Link goes between
lever and bracket.
This pin must be present if using
check ball in position 'A' see Fig. 8
