[QUOTE="jarance, post: 431716, member: 21"] yumie, what is the mileage clock on your car. cleaning of the gearbox valve body is not overhaul. If I am not mistaken, it is just cleaning the solenoid valves. Overhaul means that you have to remove the G/Box to change the clutch plates, oil seal, ATF filters, ATF oil. How does your mechanic know the ATF is dirty unless he drained it. There is no dipstick for G/Box to check ATF condition. To clean the solenoid, you need only to do the following:- 1. Drain and replace ATF. 2. Remove g/box cover to remove ATF filters & to access the valve body. 3. Clean or replace the solenoid. 4. Change oil seal. 5. Reassemble 6. Refill ATF. All the above does not required G/Box to be removed.
