Valve Body removal? Real time help

Vitesse_6 · 08-03-08, 11:51 AM

Hi all.
Im in the process of replacing the Throttle Valve Cable on my '94 FZJ80.
I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of when removing the Valve Body? Ive been reading the down loadable FSM for rebuilding the trans, It shows all the pics I need just not a great deal of what to watch out for.
Im ready to move forward with the removal, I have never removed one and I was looking for solace from the Cruiser Gods

Thanks

EDIT...
I will be doing a write up after Im all done.

From an A440F, YMMV.

Fluid will keep dripping the whole time you have it apart, be ready for that. Be careful of the fiber (?) gaskets within the valve body, when I changed mine out, the ones in the old VB were pretty brittle and broke off around the edges. If you are changing any of the rubber o-rings between the VB and the transmission case, I would try soaking the new ones in ATF before installing. I suspect they might swell a bit and make for a tighter fit/easier assembly when you install them.

Thanks for the info!
It took me a bit to figure out the YMMV(I had to google it

)
It went quite smoothly, All the gaskets looked great and yes it leaked the whole time I was under there.

I got it all buttoned up, But ran into a snag.....

Nothing bad, Just my own rush to finish a job in time for a Birthday party.
