Valve Body Assembly: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: After completing installation, check transmission fluid leakage and fluid level. See CHECKING FLUID LEVELS  .
  1. Install "O" ring in transmission assembly harness connector. DO NOT reuse "O" ring. Apply transmission fluid to "O" ring.
  2. Install transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 to bracket.
  3. Install transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 (with bracket) in valve body assembly with TCM. Adjust bolt hole of bracket to bolt hole of valve body with TCM. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . See Figure .
  4. Install valve body with TCM in transmission case. Ensure that turbine revolution sensor securely installs in sensor hole. See Fig 1 . Hang down sensor harness toward outside so as not to disturb installation of control valve with TCM. Adjust transmission assembly harness connector of control valve with TCM of terminal hole of transmission case. Assemble it so that manual valve cutout is engaged with manual plate projection. See Figure .

  5. Install bolts "A", "B", and "C" in valve body with TCM. See Figure . See VALVE BODY BOLT IDENTIFICATION  .
    VALVE BODY BOLT IDENTIFICATION

    Bolt Symbol Length - In. (mm) Number of Bolts
    "A" 1.65 (42.0) 5
    "B" 2.17 (55.0) 6
    "C" 1.57 (40.0) 1
  6. Tighten bolt 1, 2, and 3 temporarily to prevent dislocation. See Figure . After that tighten in order (1, 2, and 3), and then tighten remaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  7. Connect transmission fluid sensor No. 2 connector. See Figure .
  8. Securely fasten terminal cord assembly and transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 harness with terminal clips.
  9. Connect revolution sensor connector. See Figure
  10. Securely fasten revolution sensor harness with terminal clips.
  11. Install magnets in oil pan.
  12. Install oil pan to transmission case using the following steps:
    1. Install oil pan gasket to oil pan. DO NOT reuse oil pan gasket. Install it in the direction to align hole positions. Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket from oil pan mounting surface.
    2. Install oil pan (with oil pan gasket) to transmission case. Install it so that drain plug comes to the position as shown. Use care to not pinch electrical harnesses.
    3. Tighten oil pan mounting bolts to specification in sequence shown after temporarily tightening them. See Figure . DO NOT reuse oil pan mounting bolts. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  13. Install drain plug to oil pan. DO NOT reuse drain plug gasket.
  14. Pull up transmission assembly harness connector. Use care to not damage connector.
  15. Install snap ring to transmission assembly harness connector.
  16. Connect transmission assembly harness connector.
  17. Pour transmission fluid into transmission assembly. See DRAINING & REFILLING  .
  18. Connect negative battery terminal.
