Pump Removal
Does anybody have pics of which one is the TCC solenoid? My trans is on the ground and I've removed all the pump bolts. Can I tip the transmission and set it on it's side to remove the solenoid, etc? Will it mess up the check ***** in the valvebody? And where on the pump did you pry at? On the right hand side where the little indention is?
Thanks, just trying to work on my transmission myself.
Look at the pump, there is only one thing on the bottom of it held on by two bolts, it's the solenoid.
You can roll the transmission down the driveway and it won't hurt the check *****.
But you need to stand it on it's tail end to remove the pump properly.
An easy way is to drill a 2 1/4" hole in a bench, remove the tailhousing, place the tailshaft in the hole in the bench, now it's pump side up, stable and easy to work on.
Remove all the above mentioned parts and you can carefully pry on a section of pump that does not seal on anything.
There are pump pullers available but the price is usually out of the range for one time use.

Take off the pan and look at it. you cant miss it it is the only thing that looks like you can remove. it is by the front of the trans. first look then ask again if needed. you cant miss it and it is real easy to remove and put back on. be gentel prying on the pump. take your time, it will come out..
Now to get the PWM solenoid out you need to remove the clip in the valve body using a pick.

However I thought I had to pull the valvebody to remove the PWM solenoid. I guess not, awesome!
That's awesome you labeled everything though, but what clip are you speaking of? The one connected to the PWM solenoid?Thanks man!
