12. Remove the spring clip/washer (B) and the control pin (C), then separate the shift cable end (D) from the 

control lever (E). Check the bushing (F) in the shift cable end for a proper fit and wear. If the bushing is 
loose or worn, replace the shift cable (see SHIFT CABLE REPLACEMENT ).  

13. Disconnect the connectors from A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B, solenoid harness, 

transmission range switch, ATF temperature sensor, output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, input shaft 
(mainshaft) speed sensor, 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch, and 4th clutch transmission fluid 
pressure switch.  

14. Remove the bolt securing the harness cover (A).

20. Measure the resistance between each connector terminal of the shift solenoid valve and body ground. 

Standard: 12-25 ohms  



Replace the solenoid valve if the resistance is out of standard.  



If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 21.  

21. Connect the negative battery terminal to the body ground, and connect the positive battery terminal to

each solenoid terminal individually. 



If a clicking sound is heard, go to step 22 and replace the solenoid harness.  



If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 23 and replace the shift solenoid valve.  

22. Remove the solenoid harness, install a new O-ring (A) on the solenoid harness connector (B), and install 

the connector in the transmission housing.
