SERVICE INFORMATION

This bulletin is designed to provide easy to follow valve body reconditioning instructions and new
illustrations to simplify reassembly of the valve body, and list other service information documents
that are related to the 4L80X transmission family.

Related Service Document

PIP3427A - SES light on, DTC P0757, harsh shifts, delayed 2-3 shift, no third gear or slip in third
or reverse, or a 2-3 shift flare. Debris stuck in the #11 check ball, or a sticking pintle in the 2-3 shift
solenoid.

Inspection Procedure

1. Using the exploded view (Illus. A), inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement
and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer's
concern. IF VALVE BODY CLEANING IS NOT REQUIRED, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
BORES UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO VERIFY MOVEMENT OF VALVES.

2. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become
restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between
the valves and bores.

3. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, then
replace the valve body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair order.

Disassembly/Reassembly

1. If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and
burr, then inspect movement in the valve's normal position. If no other debris or
restrictions are found, then reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission.

2. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission
component failure, then disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body
components. Keeping individual bore parts separated will make reassembly easier. Use
the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts.

3. Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum
pan), clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air. Use appropriate eye
protection.

4. Clean individual valve body components with GM Brake Clean, or equivalent. Coat each
valve with clean ATF and reassemble in each bore. Check each valve for free
movement during assembly of each bore.

IMPORTANT: Position the valve body as

shown in the following illustrations for positive
identification and location of individual parts.
