Turn the adjustment screw of the regulator valve and adjust so that the line pressure (kickdown brake pressure) reaches the standard value. When the adjustment screw is turned clockwise, the line pressure becomes lower; when it is turned counter-clockwise, it becomes higher.
Standard value:

860-900 kPa (122-129 psi, 8.77-9.18 kg/cm²

Oil pressure change for each turn of adjustment screw:

38 kPa (5.4 psi, 0.39 kg/cm² )

Check to be sure that the O-ring is installed on the upper surface of the valve body at the place shown in the figure.
Replace the O-ring of the solenoid valve connector with a new one.
Install the valve body assembly to the case and then insert the solenoid valve connector into the case. Be sure, at this time, that the notched part of the connector faces as shown in the figure. Also be careful that the lead wiring isn't caught.

Tighten the valve body assembly mounting bolts to 10-12 Nm (100-120 kg.cm, 7-9 lb.ft).
Install the oil filter.
Install a new oil pan gasket with the oil pan.
Pour in the specified amount of Automatic transaxle fluid.
Make the oil pressure test. Readjust if necessary.
