VALVE BODY CLEANING AND INSPECTION
The only serviceable valve body components are:
²park lock rod and E-clip
²switch valve and spring
²pressure adjusting screw bracket
²throttle valve lever
²manual lever
²manual lever shaft seal, washer, E-clip and detent
ball
²fluid filter
²converter clutch solenoid
The remaining valve body components are serviced
only as part of a complete valve body assembly.
Clean the valve body components in a parts clean-
ing solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, orany type of caustic solution. Dry the parts with com-
pressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and
free from obstructions.
Do not use rags or shop towels to wipe off
valve body components. Lint from these materi-
als will adhere to the valve body components.
Lint will interfere with valve operation and
may clog filters and fluid passages.
Inspect the throttle and manual valve levers and
shafts. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft or
correct a loose lever. Replace these components if
worn, bent, loose or damaged in any way.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for
scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straight-
edge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface
may be corrected by smoothing the surface with cro-
cus cloth. The cloth should be in sheet form and be
positioned on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass, or
equally flat surface. However, if distortion is severe
or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body
will have to be replaced.

locking pliers to hold converter in place. Attach hold-
ing tool to converter housing.
CAUTION: The transmission cooler and lines must
be reverse flushed if overhaul corrected a malfunc-
tion that generated sludge, metal particles, or
clutch friction material. The torque converter and
drainback valve should also be replaced as they
will also be contaminated. Debris and residue NOT
flushed from the cooler and lines will flow back into
the transmission and converter. The result will be a
repeat failure and shop comeback.

21 - 164 30RH/32RH TRANSMISSION OVERHAULJ

The transmission speed sensor consists of a rotor
and magnet on the transmission output shaft and a
switch in the extension housing or adapter. The sen-
sor switch is activated each time the rotor and mag-
net complete one revolution. Sensor signals are sent
to the transmission control module.
The park/neutral position switch is mounted on the
valve body manual shaft. The switch signals shift
linkage and manual valve position to the transmis-
sion control module through an interconnecting har-
ness. The switch prevents engine starting in all gears
other than Park or Neutral.
The brake switch is in circuit with the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid. The switch disengages the
converter clutch whenever the brakes are applied.
The switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket
and signals the transmission control module when
the pedal is pressed or released.
TORQUE CONVERTER
A three element torque converter is used for all ap-
plications. The converter contains an impeller, stator,
and turbine.
The AW-4 converters are all equipped with a con-
verter clutch mechanism. The clutch consists of a
sliding clutch piston, clutch springs and the clutch
disc material (Fig. 4). The clutch provides optimum
torque transfer and economy when engaged.
The clutch disc is attached to the converter front
cover. The clutch piston and clutch springs are at-
tached to the turbine hub. The springs dampen en-
gine firing impulses and loads during the initial
phase of converter clutch engagement.
Clutch engagement is controlled by transmission
valve body solenoid number three and by the con-
verter clutch relay valve. The solenoid channels line
pressure to the clutch through the relay valve at
clutch engagement speeds.Torque converter clutch engagement occurs in sec-
ond gear in 1-2 position; third gear in 3 position and
third and fourth gear in D position.
FOURTH GEAR OVERDRIVE COMPONENTS
The overdrive system consists of the input shaft,
one-way clutch, planetary sun gear, ring gear, plane-
tary carrier, clutch and overdrive brake (Fig. 5). The
overdrive elements are controlled and applied
through transmission valve body solenoid number
two.
In overdrive fourth gear, the brake prevents the
overdrive sun gear from turning. During operation,
the overdrive elements operate as follows:
