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.

21 - 150 30RH/32RH TRANSMISSION OVERHAULJ

CAUTION: The throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2
shift valve and 1-2 governor plug are made of
coated aluminum. Aluminum components can be
identified by the dark color of the special coating
applied to the surface (or by testing with a magnet).
DO NOT polish or sand aluminum valves or plugs
with any type of material, or under any circum-
stances. This practice might damage the special
coating and cause the valves and plugs to stick and
bind.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs,
nicks, or scores. Also inspect the coating on the alu-
minum valves and plugs (Fig. 119). If the coating is
damaged or worn through, the valve (or valve body)
should be replaced.
Aluminum valves and plugs should not be sanded
or polished under any circumstances. However, minor
burrs or scratches on steel valves and plugs can beremoved with crocus cloth but do not round off the
valve or plug edges. Squareness of these edges is vi-
tally important. These edges prevent foreign matter
from lodging between the valves, plugs and bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve
body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors. Re-
place the valve body if any bores are distorted or
scored. Inspect all of the valve body springs. The
springs must be free of distortion, warpage or broken
coils.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check
freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves
and plugs should drop freely into the bores. Valve
body bores do not change dimensionally with use. If
the valve body functioned correctly when new, it will
continue to operate properly after cleaning and in-
spection. It should not be necessary to replace a
valve body assembly unless it is damaged in han-
dling.

VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place
during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves
and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve
body components should all slide into place easily.
In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate
and valve body screws during reassembly. Over-
tightening can distort the valve body resulting in
valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory op-
eration. Tighten valve body screws to recom-
mended torque only.
