Can't get the 2002 Maxima auto trans valve body to reseat
 

So I got a used valve body which had the TransGo HD2 kit installed. I didn't care for the harsh 1-2 shift so today I pulled the solenoids off my old valve body, got the modified valve body out and swapped the newer solenoids onto my old valve body. Now I'm having problems getting my old valve body to seat properly.

Once I get the accumlator spring in and lined up, the shift linkage general area does not want to line up properly so I can get a few bolts started to hold the valve body in place.

Here's a link of a guide I been following http://www.vqpower.com/v2/articles.php?article_id=60

Why oh WHY was the first time a breeze? :mad:

Toss that a-hole in N.

Can I do that with the valve body removed? There's that little shift override button on the gear selector.

Yeah it's fine.

I stuck the accumulator spring in with a wad of vasalene to hold in place which did help make life a bit easier. The Neutral tip is one I had to use too.

D'oh! Got a paypal? I owe you a beer, lunch or root beer.

Can't believe I forgot that step.

vastmax nicely reminded me of the same thing because I was going through EXACTLY what you were :wall:

cheers

Ah right on. And the ATF will make the accumlator spring stick on the valve body. If you tilt it however it will fall off.
