Important: When disassembling the valve body halves, keep all valve springs, spring seats and plugs within their respective valves. Most valve springs are of different sizes and CANNOT be interchanged. Verify that all parts are clean and dry before assembly.

1. Remove the throttle valve keep plate (2) from the valve body (1).
2. Perform the following steps in order to remove the cut back valve and components:

2.1. | Hold the cut back valve plug using a flathead screwdriver.

2.2. | Remove the cut back retainer using a magnet (1).

2.3. | Remove the cut back plug.

2.4. | Remove the cut back valve.

2.5. | Remove the cut back valve spring.

10. Remove the following TV cable cam components:

• | The bolt (4)

• | The cam (3)

• | The return spring (1)

• | The spacer (2)

Important: Note the number of throttle valve compensating rings before removal. The number of rings determines the transmission line pressure. Install the same number of rings that are removed in order to ensure the proper transmission line pressure. Some valve bodies do not require these rings.

17. Inspect the valve bores for scoring or cracks. Replace as necessary.
18. Inspect the free length and outer coil diameter of all of the front upper valve body springs using the J 26900-5 .
