1 - ACCUMULATOR PISTON INSTALLATION (1) Verify that park/neutral position switch is NOT
installed. Valve body cannot be installed with switch
in place. Remove switch if necessary.
(2) Install new seals on accumulator piston if necessary,
and install piston in case. Use small amount
of petroleum jelly to hold piston in place.
(3) Place valve body manual lever in low (1 position)
to ease inserting park rod into sprag.
1 - VALVE BODY (4) Use screwdriver to push park sprag into
engagement with park gear. This makes clearance for
knob on lock rod to move past sprag when valve body
is installed. Rotate output shaft to verify sprag
engagement.
(5) Position accumulator spring between accumulator
piston and valve body.
(6) Position valve body on transmission and work
knob on park lock rod past sprag. Be sure accumulator
piston and spring remain in position.
