Product Usage Instructions:

Remove the transmission pan.
Remove the stock sump filter by removing the T25 torx screw
holding it in place and gently pull down to remove it out of the
pump.
Remove the cooler spin on filter.
Unlatch the valve body to body harness connector.
Remove 6 (10mm) bolts (See red arrows in Figure 1 below). Be
sure to support the valve body when removing the last bolt as the
valve body may come loose and fall.
Disassemble, clean, and assemble the valve and plugs, the
manual valve and low reverse shuttle valve and plug. Tag each valve
and plug combination with location information to aid in
assembly.
Inspect the valve body using the provided link: transgo.com/product-details/solenoid-switch-valve-kits/
Transfer the solenoid pack and gasket onto the valve body. Take
care not to damage the contact pins on the end of the plastic arm
when placing it on the new valve body.
Reinstall the previously removed T25 Torx screws and tighten to
55 in-lbs. Retorque them again after all screws are tightened.
Verify that the valve body detent plate is in the PARK
position. If not, slide it into the PARK position before installing
the valve body into the transmission to avoid damaging the selector
shaft pin.
Replace spin on filter screw with RevMax filter screw (sold
separately).
Replace both filters with new MOPAR filters.
Install the sump filter to the valve body using the T25 Torx
screw.
Reinstall the valve body into the transmission, ensuring that
the U on the valve body detent plate is aligned with the selector
shaft pin.
Replace the 6 (10mm) valve body to case bolts and torque them
to 110 in-lbs.
Re-latch the valve body harness.
Fill with ATF+4.
Start the vehicle and leave it in PARK until the transmission
temperature reaches 1000°F.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

·Cleaning Process:
· Clean the valve housings, valves, plugs, springs, with a standard parts cleaning solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any type of caustic solution.
· Do not immerse any of the electrical components in cleaning solution. Clean the electrical components by wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
· Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from obstructions.
· Do not use rags or shop towels to dry off any valve body components. Lint from these materials can stick to valve body parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog filters and fluid passages.

Inspection Process:
· Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors. Replace the valve body if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all the valve body springs. The springs must be free of distortion, warpage or broken coils.
· Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves and plugs should drop freely into the bore.
· Valve body bores do not normally change dimensionally with use. If the valve body functioned correctly when new, it should continue to operate properly after cleaning and inspection.
· Inspect all the accumulator bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors. Replace the valve body if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all the accumulator springs. The springs must be free of distortion, warpage or broken coils.
Assembly Process:
· Lubricate valves, plugs and the housing valve bores with clean transmission fluid. · Install solenoid switch valve and plugs and the retainer into the valve bore. · NOTE: If your SSV has issues, please refer to the link below for the correct replacement.

· Position the Revmax Bonded separator plate and the Revmax Billet Channel onto the valve body.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

· Install the screws to hold the Revmax Billet Channel plate onto the valve body. Tighten the screws to (55 in. lbs.). NOTE: Make 3 passes on torquing the Revmax Billet Channel Plate, waiting 30 minutes between each torque pass, this is due to compression of the bonded material on the Revmax Separator Plate.
· Install the Revmax Accumulator piston seal rings onto each Revmax accumulator pistons. · Install the Revmax accumulator pistons and springs into the valve body in the location from which
they were removed. Note that all accumulators except the overdrive have two springs. The overdrive accumulator piston has only one spring.

· Install the Transgo Low / Reverse shuttle valve, plug, and retainer into the valve body housing.
· Install the screws to hold the Revmax accumulator cover onto the valve body. Tighten all the screws to (60 in. lbs.).

Installing the Solenoid Pack and Valve Body
8. Transfer the solenoid pack and gasket onto the valve body. Be sure to take care when placing it on the new valve body to make sure that you do not damage the contact pins on the end of the plastic arm.
9. Reinstall the previously removed T25 Torx screws (yellow arrows in Figure 1) and tighten to 55 in-lbs. After all screws are torqued to 55 in-lbs, be sure to re-torque them again.
10. Verify that the valve body detent plate is in the PARK position (See Figure 2 below). If it is not in PARK, slide it into the PARK position before attempting to install the valve body into the transmission or you will damage the selector shaft pin.
11. Replace spin on filter screw with RevMax filter screw (sold separately). 12. Replace both filters with new MOPAR filters. 13. Install the sump filter to the valve body using the T25 Torx screw. 14. Reinstall the valve body into the transmission making sure that the U on the valve body detent plate is
aligned with the selector shaft pin. 15. Replace the 6 (10mm) valve body to case bolts and torque them to 110 in-Ibs. 16. Re-latch the valve body harness. 17. Fill with ATF+4. 18. Start vehicle and leave in PARK till the transmission temps reaches 1000 F.
19. Once temps are above 1000 F and the fluid is full, perform a RELEARN with a scan tool that can perform a re-learn or “Quick Learn.” (DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTILL A RE-LEARN IS COMPLETE)
20. We recommend performing a transmission “relearn” or “quick learn” with a factory scan tool or equivalent BEFORE driving the vehicle or putting into gear. After the relearn, drive the truck easy for a minimum of 100 miles so the computer can adapt appropriately.

Option 2

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Options: Option 1: For stock applications (those with no transmission tuning) please install the provided Torx screw as shown in Figure 1. Failure to install this screw may result in erratic line pressure and associated trouble codes.
Option 2: For non-stock applications (Use with any transmission tuning calling for additional line pressure). Do NOT install the screw. Installing this screw will limit the line pressure to 160psi and can cause low line pressure trouble codes.
For transmission re-learn information please visit the RevMax website
