DISASSEMBLE

NOTE: This procedure has been revised by a Technical Service Bulletin. The line pressure blow-off valve and spring feature have been eliminated. The pump body castings will continue to have the bore where the line pressure blow-off valve, spring, and clip were contained. Oil pump bodies with this valve and spring may have a hole drilled through to release fluid. Removal of these components will cause extensive transaxle internal leakage.
