- Clean the entire transmission, including the valve body.
- Check pumps, valve bodies, and cases for warpage.
- Flat file pumps, valve bodies, and cases. (Just a few strokes with the file to knock off high spots and handle burrs.)
- Check all pump gear clearances.
- Check planet pinion endplay and side to side motion.
- Soak all planet assemblies.
- Soak all friction material for 15-30 minutes.
- Sand, tumble, or replace all steel plates.
- Re-surface all drums on which a band rides.
- Replace all rotating oi1 control rings.
- Check all oil control rings, and rubber products in their bores for proper fit.
