After you have performed the "JMOD" to the seperator plate, be sure there are no burrs from the drilling. Install the new seperator plate gasgets, and the rest of the valve body as it came apart.

It is now time to re-install the valve body. Be sure that you align the linkage assembly with the shaft on the driver's side of the valve body. A common occurance is to end up with the linkage out of position. Below is a picture of such a mistake. I re-installed the valve body without aligning the shift linkage with the shaft. Notice in the center of the photo. The jagged bracket, or "Rooster" has a pin that aligns with the horizontal shaft traveling front to rear. In the photo, you can see how the pin is lined up with the center of the shaft. It should be toward the front of the shaft, between the two retainers. I discovered this AFTER installing the pan, and 10 qts of fluid. I had to remove the pan, and the valve body to correct this error. That is why I am showing you what to look out for so you dont have to go through what I did.

It is now time to double check the proper torque of the valve body bolts(see the article from the link earlier for proper torque specs). Then plug in all the electrical connectors, and wipe clean the gasget surface for the new pan. Install your new filter, and DONT FORGET to place the magnet into the new pan. Install the new pan, and tighten the bolts to the proper torque specs.

Now refill the transmission with about 10 qts of Mercon V fluid, check the level. It should hold 12 quarts total. Do not over fill. You're done! Now go test drive the car.

Here is a picture of the left over parts.

Great tech piece. I've printed it out (In addition to the info at TCCoA) so I'll have it in the garage with me when I do my Jmod. I've never even cracked open a tranny (other than to change fluid) before, but your article makes it seem simple enough. Thanks for the help!
