Drop a line after the fix, and let us know how it went, please ....

 

will do...............
ya know i could have just went and replaced 2 of the solenoids for 40 bucks (20 each on ebay )but for the money i dont see how i can go wrong with the whole reman valve body for 120.00 shipped .if i sell the left overs for half that then i will have got a great deal .

 

looks like next week .gotta rent a inch pound torque wrench and its been rainy last few days .will update soon.

i did get the valve body and its nicely packaged ,all the solenoids ohm out the same 5.0 .

 

put the reman valve body in today .took about 1 1/2 hours total time .
thats removing the air intake tubes and filter housing
removing the battery
remove the battery tray
move computer out the way
tie the wires up out the way
blow all dirt away with compressed air and clean top of pan
remove the trans dog bone mount
remove the pan
remove the valve body and drop in the replacement .
torque all bolts to 97 inch pounds and put it all back together .

works great!!check engine light went right out when i started the car and it shifts just fine .
for 120.00 shipped i am glad i bought the whole valve body as these seem to be problematic anyway.

now i see the price went up to 135.00 for this reman valve body .
anyway it was pretty easy .had to borrow a torque wrench that done inch pounds but other than that it was a walk in the park .

now on to that muffler next....lol

 

Congratulations and all the credit that goes with it.

 

I'll give you a thumbs up................hope all is working well.

 

working great!!
my first ever valve body job too ,couldnt have been easier .i think i will go drop that muffler now and see where its leaking .might patch it for now .

looking at replacement mufflers online (autozone/napa) they look like standard stuff but the factory oem muffler sure looks different .weird shape .

 

just an update . i used some jb weld type putty on the muffler hole and its been holding fine since my last post in this thread .
trans is going along fine too .
