Solenoid Body Assembly: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION: Early build vehicles, those equipped with an externally mounted remote filter, are also equipped with a different design sump filter and bottom pan. Always pair the sump filter with the correct bottom pan design, to avoid cavitation, filter cracking and transmission damage.

Fig 1: Early Build Vehicles With Externally Mounted Remote Filter

CAUTION: Late build vehicles replace the remote filter with a serviceable high efficiency sump filter (HESF), which requires a wider and deeper bottom pan. Always pair the sump filter with the correct bottom pan design, to avoid cavitation, filter cracking and transmission damage.
