2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 clutch

BOOST VALVE
The boost valve provides increased fluid apply pres-
sure to the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts, and
when accelerating in fourth gear.

The valve body can be removed for service without having to remove the transmission assembly.
The valve body can be disassembled for cleaning and inspection of the individual components.
The only replaceable valve body components are:
Manual lever.
Manual lever washer, seal, E-clip, and shaft seal.
Boost Valve Before Lock-up
Boost Valve After Lock-up

Manual lever detent ball.
Throttle lever.
Fluid filter.
Pressure adjusting screw bracket.
Governor pressure solenoid.
Governor pressure sensor (includes transmission temperature thermistor).
Converter clutch/overdrive solenoid assembly and harness.
Governor housing gasket.
Solenoid case connector O-rings.
1. Shift transmission into NEUTRAL.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Remove gearshift and throttle levers from shaft of
valve body manual lever.
4. Disconnect wires at solenoid case connector (1).
5. Remove the transmission range sensor (2) (Refer
to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC/TRANSMIS-
SION RANGE SENSOR - REMOVAL).
6. Position drain pan under transmission oil pan.
7. Remove transmission oil pan and gasket.
8. Remove fluid filter from valve body.
9. Remove bolts attaching valve body to transmission
case.
10. Lower valve body enough to remove accumulator
piston and springs.
11. Work manual lever shaft and electrical connector
out of transmission case.
12. Lower valve body (1), rotate valve body away
from case, pull park rod (3) out of sprag, and
remove valve body.
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not clamp any valve body component in a vise. This practice can damage the component
resulting in unsatisfactory operation after assembly and installation.Do not use pliers to remove any of the
valves, plugs or springs and do not force any of the components out or into place. The valves and valve
body housings will be damaged if force is used. Tag or mark the valve body springs for reference as they
are removed. Do not allow them to become intermixed.

21. Loosen left-side 3-4 accumulator housing (3)
attaching screw (1) about 2-3 threads. Then
remove center and right-side housing attaching
screws (2).
22. Carefully rotate 3-4 accumulator housing upward
and remove 3-4 shift valve spring and converter
clutch valve plug and spring.
23. Remove left-side screw and remove 3-4 accumu-
lator housing (3) from valve body.

33. Remove rear clutch (1) and rear servo check balls
(2) from transfer plate (3). Note check ball loca-
tion for assembly reference.
VALVE BODY UPPER HOUSING
1. Note location of check balls (1, 2) in valve body
upper housing. Then remove the one large diame-
ter (2) and the five smaller diameter (1) check
balls.
2. Remove E-clip (1) that secures shuttle valve sec-
ondary spring (2) on valve stem (3).

VALVE BODY LOWER HOUSING
3-4 ACCUMULATOR HOUSING
1. Remove end plate from housing.
2. Remove piston spring.
3. Remove piston. Remove and discard piston seals.

7. Remove 3-4 shift valve and spring.
8. Remove converter clutch valve, spring and plug.
9. Remove converter clutch timing valve, retainer and
valve spring.
CLEANING
Clean the valve housings, valves, plugs, springs, and separator plates with a standard parts cleaning solution only.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any type of caustic solution.
Do not immerse any of the electrical components in cleaning solution. Clean the governor solenoid and sensor and
the dual solenoid and harness assembly by wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from obstructions.
Do not use rags or shop towels to dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint from these materials can
stick to valve body parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog filters and fluid passages.
Wipe the governor pressure sensor and solenoid valve with dry, lint free shop towels only. The O-rings on the sen-
sor and solenoid valve are the only serviceable components. Be sure the vent ports in the solenoid valve are open
and not blocked by dirt or debris. Replace the valve and/or sensor only whenDRB scan tool diagnosis indicates this
is necessary. Or, if either part has sustained physical damage (dented, deformed, broken, etc.).
CAUTION: Do not turn the small screw at the end of the solenoid valve for any reason. Turning the screw
in either direction will ruin solenoid calibration and result in solenoidfailure. In addition, the filter on the
solenoid valve is NOT serviceable. Do not try to remove the filter as this will damage the valve housing.
INSPECTION
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 straightedge 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 a sheet of crocus
cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass orequally flat surface. If distortion is severe
or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body will have to be replaced.
CAUTION: Many of the valves and plugs, such as the throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2 shift valve and
1-2 governor plug, are made of coated aluminum. Aluminum components are identified by the dark color of
thespecialcoatingappliedtothesurface(orbytestingwithamagnet).Donot sand aluminum valves or
plugs under any circumstances. This practice could damage the special coating causing the valves/plugs to
stick and bind.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minorsurface scratches on steel valves and
plugs can be removed with crocus cloth butdo not round off the edges of the valve or plug lands.Maintaining
