Intermediate Clutch

For intermediate (2, 6) clutch operation, REFER to: Transmission Description . Refer to: Intermediate Clutch Assembly .

Intermediate Clutch

Condition	Possible Sources	Action
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch does not apply	SSC solenoid filter blocked	CLEAN or INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
	SSC is mechanically stuck OFF	INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve stuck OFF	DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve. If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control. Refer to: Main Control Valve Body .
	SSC VBS CB26, CB26 hydraulic circuits blocked or leaking	DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. Refer to: Transmission Description .
	CB26 hydraulic circuit blocked or leaking	DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the transmission case passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
	Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly	INSPECT the sun gear and shell for wear and damage. INSTALL new components necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction plates	DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction and steel plates. INSTALL new components as necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch piston seal leakage	INSTALL a new intermediate (2, 6) clutch piston and seals. Refer to: Transmission .
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch always applied	SSC solenoid O-rings cut/damaged	INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
	SSC mechanically stuck ON	INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve stuck ON	DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve and spring. If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body. Refer to: Main Control Valve Body .
	VBS CB26, CB26 hydraulic circuits leaking	DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for leakage. INSTALL new components as necessary. Refer to: Main Control Valve Body .
	Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly	INSPECT the sun gear and shell for damage that would prevent free rotation. INSTALL new components as necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction plates	DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction and steel plates. INSTALL new components as necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
	Intermediate (2, 6) clutch piston return spring	INSPECT the return spring for proper installation or damage. INSTALL new components as necessary. Refer to: Transmission .
Intermediate (2, 6) clutch delayed/soft/slipping apply	Incorrect Transmission Strategy programmed into PCM	Remove SSC and record solenoid band number. Refer to: Solenoid . Using the scan tool, verify the correct band number is stored in the PCM. If the band numbers do not match, INSTALL a new SSC with correct band number.
	SSC solenoid filter partially blocked or restricted	CLEAN or INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
	SSC mechanically sticking	INSTALL a new solenoid. Refer to: Solenoid .
