Prepare for a Dexron II shampoo! <*GRIN*> |

Undo the transmission pan bolts evenly until you can tilt the pan enough to drain most of the fluid. |
| 3. |
Drop the pan. |
| 4. |
Remove the transmission filter. Be sure that the ribbed O-Ring comes out of the pump body. |
| 5. |
Locate the wires that run across the bottom of the valve body and trace them towards the front of the car. |
| 6. |
Notice where the wires go into the solenoid (at the front of the car). Undo the two bolts holding the solenoid in place. |
| 7. |
Now remove the solenoid. It may be in there pretty tight, so get a firm grip and wiggle it gently back in forth until it comes free. |
| 8. |
Unclip the wires all the way back to the grommet in the side of the transmission and pull the wires through to remove the solenoid and wiring harness completely. |
| 9. |
The new GM solenoid comes with a new wiring harness, so route the wires back the same way the old wires were placed. |
| 10. |
Install the new solenoid in the pump by seating it firmly. |
| 11. |
Reinstall the two bolts and double check the routing of the wiring. |
| 12. |
Install a fresh filter and O ring. |
| 13. |
Reinstall the pan with a fresh gasket. |

Rinse all the fluid out of your hair! <*GRIN*> |
