Removal And Installation: Solenoids: Installation

NOTE: Be careful not to wash the numbers from the solenoids or the solenoid body. Failure to install the solenoids in the ports they were originally in can result in damage to the transmission or a harsh shift.

NOTE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the valves can occur. If the valves do not move freely during assembly, install a new solenoid body.

Clean and inspect the solenoid body, solenoids and valve assemblies for damage. Visual check.
Inspect the solenoid screens for debris that may restrict fluid flow through the screen. Visual check.
NOTE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. Failure to install the solenoids in the ports they were originally in can result in damage to the transmission or a harsh shift.

If new solenoid(s) are not being installed, position the solenoids in the solenoid body ports from which their numbers correspond.

If installing a new VFS, determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The TCC solenoid, SSA and SSC are all normally low pressure solenoids. The LPC solenoid, SSB and SSD are all normally high pressure solenoids. SSE is not a VFS; it is an ON/OFF solenoid.

Item	Part Number	Description
1	7G136	SSB (normally high)
2	7G383	SSA (normally low)
3	7G136	SSE (normally closed [OFF])
4	7G383	TCC (normally low)
5	7G484	SSC solenoid (normally low)
6	7G136	LPC solenoid (normally high)
7	7G383	SSD solenoid (normally high)

If installing a new LPC solenoid, SSB, SSD or new normally low pressure solenoids TCC, SSA, SSC, note the color of the plastic nozzle and large o-ring of the solenoid. The color will be black with an orange o-ring or brown with a green o-ring and the solenoid can only be replaced with the same color solenoid. A solenoids with a black plastic nozzle and an orange large o-ring is a normally high pressure solenoid and a solenoids with a brown plastic nozzle and a green large o-ring is a normally low pressure solenoid. Visual check.

Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is the last number in the group on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid. Visual check.

2	C
3	D
4	E
