Incorrect clearances
Stuck valves
Incorrect valve body orifice or ball location
Incorrect throttle valve adjustment
Wrong valve body gaskets, or other parts
Four different return springs are used to correct different driveability complaints:

Spring #1 is used to correct an engine race during a 2-3 upshift (2-3 cut loose, or flare up) and
a 1-2 or 3-4 extended shift time (1-2 or 3-4 slide or runaway)
Spring #2 is the most commonly used return spring, generally not associated with driveability
complaints, shown here for identification purposes
TCC stays engaged and causes the engine to stall when placed
in gear on 198892 models with the G4A-EL transmission

To repair:
2. Check the lockup solenoid for leakage. The lockup solenoid is normally closed, when
applying air it should not leak.
3. Apply air to the valve body as shown in Figure MA1216-5. It should not leak.

4. If no leaks are found, open up the lockup solenoid feed hole in the separator plate to
0.040-inch as shown in Figure MA1216-6.

NOTE:
With overdrive solenoid energized, no lockup or overdrive occurs. When the solenoid is not
energized, lockup and overdrive are scheduled by the governor

To reduce front seal blowout, use a 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch drill bit to enlarge the holes. It may
be necessary to remove the bearing race for access. Do not use silicone sealant or a thread
sealant to hold the seal in place. However, a thin layer of clear weather strip adhesive may be
used. This lubricates the seal during installation and helps hold it in place after it dries.
To adjust:
5. Mark the piston stem as shown in (Figure MA1216-13).
6. Apply compressed air to the fluid passage (Figure MA1216-14) and measure the piston
stem stroke.

7. Piston stem stroke should be: 0.0394 to 0.0669 inch (1.0 to 1.7 mm)
8. If stroke is out of specification, replace the stem with one of the correct length as listed in
(Figure MA1216-14).

A complaint of the engine stalling when put into gear on these vehicles may be caused by a
lack of lockup control oil, which can allow the torque converter clutch (TCC) valve to stroke
into the apply position. The condition may occur intermittently or only when hot or cold.

11. To repair, enlarge the hole in the valve body plate as shown in Figure MA1216-16.
This helps to furnish an adequate supply of signal oil.
