CONTROL
VALVE

The

assembly
consists

of

many
preci
ion

parts
and

requir
s

extreme

care
when
it
has
to

be
reo

moved
and

It

is

good
practice

to

place
parts
in

a

part
rack
so
that

they
can
be

reassembled
in

valve

body

in

their

proper
positions
Added
care

should
also
be

exercised
to

prevent

springs
and
other
small

parts
from

being
scattered
and
lo
t

Before

assembly

dip
all

parts
in

clean
automatic
transmission

fluid
and

check
to
be
certain

that

they
are
free

of

lint
and
other
minute

particles
If

clutch
or
band
is

burnt
or
if
oil

becomes
fouled
the
control

valve
as

should

be

ssembled

OIL
LEVEL

In

checking
the
automatic
transmis

sion

the
o
illevel
and
the
condition
of

oil
around
the
oil
level

gauge
should
be

examined
This
is

an

easy
and
effective

trouble

shooting

procedure
since

some

changes
in
oil
condition

are
often

linked
with

developed
troubles

For
instance

Lack
of
oil
causes

faulty
operation

by
making
the
clutches
and

brakes

slip
resulting
in

severe
wear

This
is
because
the
oil

pump
sucks

air

causing
oil

foaming
thus

rapidly

deteriorating
the
oil

quality
and

pro

ducing
sludge
and

varnish

Excessive
oil
is

also
bad
because
of

oil

foaming
caused

by
the

gears

stirring

up
the
oil

During
high
speed

driving

excessive

oil
in

the

transmission
often

blows
out

from
the
breather
