Torque Converter Assembly Removal

  1. Remove the transmission torque converter assembly.
  2. Inspect the torque converter assembly for the following: External damage Metal particles found after flushing the oil cooler and the cooler lines External leaks in the hub weld area The torque converter pilot is damaged or fits poorly into the crankshaft Internal failure of the stator roller clutch Contamination from the engine coolant Excessive end play (Refer to «Torque Converter End Play Inspection»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul__torque-converter-end-play-inspection) ).

Torque Converter End Play Inspection

Tools Required

  1. J 26900-13 Magnetic Indicator Base. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  2. J 8001 Dial Indicator Set. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  3. J 39195 Converter End Play Check Tool. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  1. Place the J 39195 base into the torque converter assembly (1). The J 39195 will bottom itself on the face of the stator.
  2. Insert the T-handle forcing screw of the J 39195 into the base and hand tighten.
  3. Using the J 26900-13 , position the J 8001 so that the dial indicator tip is in the center of the J 39195 T-handle.
  4. Push down on the J 39195 T-handle to bottom the stator.
  5. Preload the J 8001 .
  6. Set the J 8001-3 to 0.
  7. Pull up on the J 39195 T-handle.
  8. Inspect the reading on the dial indicator. The total end play should be 0.0-0.38 mm (0.0-0.015 in).
  9. Repeat this procedure several times in order to get an accurate measurement.
  10. Remove the tools.

Transmission Holding Fixture Installation

Tools Required

  1. J 3289-20 Holding Fixture Base Assembly. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  2. J 8763-02 Holding Fixture. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  3. J 38655 Holding Fixture Adapter. See «Special Tools and Equipment»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-g2500/1996-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l80-e4l85-e-overhaul) .
  1. Install the J 8763-02 and the J 38655 onto the transmission assembly.
  2. Install the transmission assembly and the J 8763-02 into the J 3289-20 .
  3. Lock the J 8763-02 in place with the locking pin.

Draining Transmission Fluid

  1. Place a suitable fluid collection pan under the transmission assembly.
  2. Slowly rotate the transmission so that the input shaft is up, in order to drain the transmission fluid out of the case extension.
  3. Remove the collection pan and properly dispose of the transmission fluid.

Speed Sensor Assembly Removal

  1. Remove the input speed sensor bolt (23).
  2. Remove the input speed sensor (22A).
  3. Remove the output speed sensor bolt (23).
  4. Remove the output speed sensor (22B), (output speed sensor plug on 4WD model).
  5. Inspect the speed sensors for damage.

Park or Neutral - Engine Running

When you start the vehicle, the oil pump generates fluid flow from the transmission sump through the filter and into the pump. Filtered transmission fluid is directed to the pressure regulator valve.

Scheme 104

Scheme 104: Park or Neutral - Engine Running

Reverse

When you move the gear selector lever to the Reverse position, the manual valve blocks the line fluid pressure from entering the Drive, D321, D21 and Lo fluid circuits. These fluids exhaust at the manual valve. The manual valve allows the line fluid pressure to enter the Reverse, PRN, PRND43, and PRND4 hydraulic circuits.

Scheme 105

Scheme 105: Reverse

Overdrive Range, First Gear

When you move the gear selector lever to the Overdrive position, the manual valve is repositioned in order to allow line pressure to flow in its respective circuits.

Scheme 106

Scheme 106: Overdrive Range, First Gear

Overdrive Range, Second Gear

In order to obtain second gear, the PCM receives input signals from the transmission speed sensors (input and output), the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor, and from other engine sensors. These signals determine when to de-energize the 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve.

Scheme 107

Scheme 107: Overdrive Range, Second Gear

Overdrive Range, Third Gear - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applied

In order to obtain third gear, the PCM receives input signals from both speed sensors, from the TP Sensor, and from other engine sensors. These signals determine when to energize the 2-3 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve.

Scheme 108

Scheme 108: Overdrive Range, Third Gear - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applied

Overdrive Range, Fourth Gear - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applied

In order to obtain fourth gear, the PCM receives input signals from both speed sensors, from the TP Sensor, and from other engine sensors. These signals determine when to energize the 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve.

Scheme 109

Scheme 109: Overdrive Range, Fourth Gear - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applied

Overdrive Range, 4-3 Downshift

In order to obtain the 4-3 downshift, the PCM receives an input signal from the TP Sensor at increased throttle openings. This causes the PCM to de-energize the 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve.

Scheme 110

Scheme 110: Overdrive Range, 4-3 Downshift

Overdrive Range, 3-2 Downshift

In order to obtain the 3-2 downshift, the PCM receives an input signal from the TP Sensor at increased throttle openings. This causes the PCM to de-energize the 2-3 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve.

Scheme 111

Scheme 111: Overdrive Range, 3-2 Downshift

Manual Third Gear

Manual Third can be used in order to increase the performance of the vehicle by allowing higher engine RPM for more torque. Manual Third will also provide vehicle engine compression braking when descending slight grades. Manual Third can be selected at any vehicle speed. The transmission will downshift into third gear at any vehicle speed.

Scheme 112

Scheme 112: Manual Third Gear

Manual Second Gear

Use the Manual 3-2 downshift in order to provide increased engine braking over Manual Third. Move the shift selector from the Manual Third position to the Manual Second position. You can select Manual Second at any vehicle speed or from any gear range in order to downshift the transmission into second gear.

Scheme 113

Scheme 113: Manual Second Gear

Manual First Gear

Use Manual First for maximum engine braking when the car is descending steep grades. Select Manual First at any vehicle speed. However, the transmission will first operate in Manual First - Second Gear condition until the vehicle speed slows sufficiently.
