trans filter and accumulator

ok im in the process of installing a shift kit

it says remove the 4 bolts holding on the accumulator..theres nothing in out or around the trans with just 4 bolts. does anybody have a picture of the accumulator it dosent have to be in the car it could be a picture from autozones site or something

also how does the trans filter come out does it just pull straight down?

Re: trans filter and accumulator

Pull straight down on the filter. You can rock it slightly side to side to loosen. On the accumulator are 4 mounting bolts located towards the side of the accumulator. The accumulator is the part that has the pipes/lines going to the 2-1 manual servo.

Re: trans filter and accumulator

Pull the 8mm blots just leave one in that you can see does not hold it to the case. Just make sure you get the lube tube ( the one with the rubber line )installed all the way in its critical for lube to the geartrain. Don't take the 3 10MM blots out of the servo. Get some green loctite sleeve retainer (640 I think) and put it on the end of the tube and stick it in the hole and let it sit over night. This will help hold that tube in.
