2. Remove the pressure modifier accumulator spring and the pressure modifier accumulator valve.
3. Remove the 3-2 timing valve stop pin, 3-2 timing valve stop plug, 3-2 timing valve, and the 3-2 timing spring.
4. Remove the line pressure cutback valve stop pin, line pressure cutback valve stop plug, line pressure cutback valve A, line pressure cutback valve B. and the line pressure cutback spring.
5. Remove the bypass valve stop pin, the bypass valve stop plug, the bypass valve, and the bypass spring.





6. Remove the four 1-2 accumulator plate bolts, the 1-2 accumulator plate, and the 1-2 accumulator gasket. Discard the 1-2 accumulator gasket.
