N91 a. Check your remanufactured JF506E valve body for an oil baffle
(main photo). If the oil baffle is not present re-use the oil baffle from

the original valve body.
NOTE: If you receive a remanufactured valve body that includes an oil baffle and
N90 also have one on the original return it with your core.

Colors May Vary NOTE: A paper clip can hold the valve in place. Ensure that the manual shift link-
age in the transmission is in Manual position. Install two new O-rings into the case.

Transmission Diagnostic Tips


This remanufactured valve body has been through a rigorous inspection and rebuild process, then a comprehensive, functional
hydraulic and electronic test to ensure it meets OE performance and quality. It is designed to eliminate many pressure-, shift- and
converter-related complaints, but will not correct complaints that stem from other areas of the transmission.
The following are common areas of failure or root causes for symptoms that could be attributed to valve body issues that should also
be examined or addressed during your transmission build. A clutch and brake application chart (Figure 2) is below for additional aid
in diagnosing problems, as well as air test locations to verify clutch and breake circuit integrity (Figure 3).
• Slips in 3rd, 4th and 5th or has High and Reverse input clutch failure. This condition can be caused by a cracked high clutch
piston on early applications.
• No Reverse and slips in Forward. This condition can be caused when the band anchor is removed from the transmission case-,
by mistake to fill the transmission. This allows the band to fall out of its anchor. This can also be caused by a mis-positioned
O-ring from valve body to case.
