Manual Description
I The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
I Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter. The exception may be where the torque converter clutch dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such as taxi, delivery or police use. However, brake band does not contract because oil pressure area on the release” side is greater than that on the apply” side.
D: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake. The parking pawl engages with the parking gear to mechanically hold the output shaft so that the power train is locked. It always controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.
