I.D. The Valve Body First! See Front Page!

Step 1

Disassemble VB and note ALL small part locations. Check your separator plate. New separator plates are available from distributors, some “printed” plates are replaced by bonded gasket
plates. Plates are cheap insurance against cross-leak malfunctions

Heads up! Some valves may or may not have springs! Depends on model.
Always re-assemble valves and small parts as you found them!

Do yourself and this car a BIG favor. Warm the trans temp up to about 140 degrees and use a good scan tool to “reset” the adaptive learned values.

Always replace discolored or overheated Solenoids! See Solenoid Information Sheet for details

Additional Information for Ford Models

Important ZF Solenoid Information (Imports)

These two sets of solenoids are supposed to be the same colors. The left set has overheated and should not be used. Overheating is what caused the color change. Even though the bottom left solenoid connector might “Look” Green, it was originally Blue. The top left may appear cream or burnt orange in color but it too was over-heated, the original color was actually Yellow. If your Solenoids
turned color REPLACE THEM! Do not ask them to go another 100k, they won’t!

Additional Information

Ford uses a combination of Black, Brown and Cream colored Solenoids.
While the discoloration is harder to see on black and brown solenoids when they overheat, you can see enough difference
when comparing the browns. Let that be your guide when deciding to put a set of solenoids on.

A Note about Resetting Adapts:

Do yourself and this car a BIG favor. After filling, warm the trans temp up and use a scan tool to “reset” the adaptive learned values where applicable. This can save
hours of driving time trying to get one to relearn.
Audi: Resetting Adapts may be called EE Prom Reset and may not be available on all scan tools. Extended road testing alone will not relearn the vehicle enough to
deliver. EE Prom Reset is the only method to successfully reset the vehicle adapts found at this time.
