1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
2. Support the transmission with a suitable jack.
3. Remove the transmission support. Refer to Transmission Support Replacement .
4. Remove the front exhaust pipe assembly. Refer to Catalytic Converter Replacement .
5. Remove the heat shield if equipped. Refer to Transmission Heat Shield Replacement .
6. Carefully lower the transmission to gain access to the 2-4 Servo.



7. Install the J 29714-A .
8. Tighten the bolt in order to compress the servo cover.



9. Remove the servo cover retaining ring.
10. Remove the J 29714-A .



11. Remove the servo cover and the O-ring seal. If the cover is hung up on the seal, use a pick (2) to pull and stretch the seal (1) out of the groove. Cut and remove the O-ring seal before removing the cover.

7. Install the transmission oil pan bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 11 N·m (97 lb in).

8. Install the heat shield if equipped. Refer to Transmission Heat Shield Replacement .
9. Install the exhaust pipe assembly. Refer to Catalytic Converter Replacement .
10. Install the transmission support. Refer to Transmission Support Replacement .
11. Remove the transmission jack.
12. Lower the vehicle.
13. Fill the transmission to the proper level with DEXRON® VI transmission fluid. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .

Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.

Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the engine control module (ECM), powertrain control module (PCM) or transmission control module (TCM) will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
14. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
