Important: If valve body cleaning is not required, Do Not disassemble the bores unless it is necessary to verify movement of valves.
Inspection Procedure
- Using the exploded views in this bulletin, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer’s concern.
- Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between the valves and bores.
- If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, then replace the valve body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair order.

Notice: Be sure all solenoids are installed with the electrical connectors facing the non-machined (cast) side of the valve body; otherwise the solenoids will bind against the transmission case as the valve body bolts are tightened and damage may occur.
Disassembly/Reassembly
- If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and burr, then inspect movement in the valve’s normal position. If no other debris or restrictions are found, then reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission.
- If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component failure, then disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body components. If possible, keep individual bore parts separated for ease of reassembly. Use the illustrations in this bulletin for a positive identification and location of individual parts:
- Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum pan), clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air. Use appropriate eye protection.
- Clean individual valve body components with GM Brake Clean, or equivalent. Coat each valve with clean ATF and reassemble in each bore. Check each valve for free movement during assembly of each bore.
