Hey guys and gals. Got the valve body from Lentech today. I will be putting it in tomorrow and post the results. Here are the pics of the front and back.
UPDATE
IT'S IN!!! Man I cannot believe the difference in the shifting. And I cannot believe how easy this mod was. Great upgrade for the money and the time. Give me a few minutes to try and get something going with the pics on photobucket.
What it looks like after the oil pan is off.
Starting removing bolts, and more tranny fluid started oozing, so I had to give it a few minutes.
Valve Body hanging by the wires from the solenoids. This is the point where I actually wrote out on paper where each connector goes, so I wasn't clueless after I took them off.
Starting the transfer of the solenoids to the new valve body.
After removing the 10mm bolts, I used a small screwdriver to pry the solenoids out, very carefully.
What a shift solenoid looks like.
Putting the solenoids into the new valve body.
Turned the valve body around to insure correct installation of the remaining solenoids. New one is on left.
Removing last solenoid, YAY!
There are servo acculmators or something like that. Make sure you have the right one in the right hole when you reinstall valve body. You can find out which one is correct, by looking in the tech manual. Also, ensure that the parking assist lever is in the slot where it goes, this is also in the tech manual.
That's it. If there really is a need for a how-to on this. I can make a new thread and make a better how to with better illustrations and more info. Thanks.
