4. To remove the pressure control solenoid 1 (PCS1) or PCS2, remove three bolts (4) and the
pressure control valve retaining bracket (5). Remove accumulators (3) and springs (6) if
they do not fall out when the bracket (5) is removed.
5. Note the position of the solenoid connector and pull the solenoid (1) or (8) out of the bore
in the control valve assembly. The O-ring on the solenoid provides the resistance felt during
removal.
Installation Procedure
springs (6) which may fall from the bores. Be sure to
catch the accumulators and springs so as to prevent
damage to these parts.
The pressure control valve retaining bracket (5) must not
be modified. Note that the angle between the 2 bracket
surfaces is less than 90 degrees. Replace the bracket if
the angle is 90 degrees or more.

2. Install the 2 accumulators (3) and springs (6) before installing the pressure control valve
retaining bracket (5). The valve (3) goes in the bore first with the hollow end facing
outward, followed by the spring (6) which goes inside the hollow portion of the valve.
3. Install the pressure control valve retaining bracket (5), and install the 3 bolts (4).

OUTPUT FLANGE/YOKE REPLACEMENT
Removal Procedure
IMPORTANT: The FastLearn, adapt, procedure must be performed. This
can be done in 1 step using a scan tool. If this procedure is
not done, the TCM adaptive values will be at the settings that
it learned for the old components and will be in slow
adaptive mode. Under these conditions, it will take an
unacceptably long time for the adaptive values to converge
to levels suitable for the new transmission.
