Question While removing the valve body on my 2002 dodge intrepid, 4 balls and a small metal piece fell out with the remainder of the transmission fluid and i don't know where they came from and how to put them back! Please advise! Thanx!
Answer Hi Patrick,
I assume that you removed a bunch of screws from a separator plate and that was when the balls and retainer fell out. I think that it would be impossible to describe the locations of the balls and retainers (of which there are several). The '02 manual that I have has 16 pages about the valve body. I can xerox copy and postal mail you those on Monday. If this is highly urgent I could ask a neighbor with a document scanner to allow me to use it and send you a couple of pages that show the locations. I'll be available again for a short while tonight, and then again tomorrow morning so let me know a postal mailing address or an email address depending upon which of the ways I described to communicate back to you.
Roland
