Front half of valve body. Notice the A bolts, valve body to case, are already out because this entire valve body was previously removed from the transmission.

This part slides over a stud. It sometimes binds as you are trying to get the lower body off. Take you time and don't force anything the lower body will come off.

The pressure regulator is under this plate on the right side of the plate. DO NOT JUST REMOVE THE BOLTS WITHOUT HELP OR I USE A C CLAMP!!! There are springs that put pressure on the plate. It's not that extreme that you can't hold it, but it's hard to hold it and remove the bolts at the same time. The third hand comes in handy.

You can see the valve inside the body.

Remove the 3 middle bolts leaving the 2 outer bolts in. I didn't have any help so I used a C clamp as my ectra hand. Becareful placing the clamp not to damage the valve body. You don't need to clamp it tight.

Slowly release the clamp. I have my hands also holding the plate as I release the clamp but I took them off temporarily to take this photo.

Now take your nice and cold new valve out of the bag. Remove the o rings. I usally put a little clean transmission fluid on the valve before installing.

Slowly install the valve. DON'T FORCE IT. It should slide in easily. If for some reason it catches on the split rings redo the freezing process. If you break the rings you will need to order a new valve.

Now the fun part. Install the plate. If you have a helper have them hold the plate in place while you get the screws started. I used a C clamp and slowly compressed the springs. Notice the circled area, that spring fits in a little indent on the plate. Also make sure the valve below it slides in correctly.

All back together. Install back on transmission. I torque the plate and valve body bolts at 8nm. The pan calls for 10nm.

The night before I put the new split rings on the new valve. Use a little assembly grease before installing the split rings. Then put the o rings over the split rimgs to compress them. Pit it in a clean baggie and put it in the freezer. Next morning take it out and I put it in a cup of ice to keep it cold because I don't have a freezer at my shop.

I bolted a bracket on the bellhousing and use an rngine hoist to get in the garbage can wherr I stand it on its end. You will find it a lot easier to aline the clutch disc when you put everything back together.

I bolted a bracket on the bellhousing and use an engine hoist to pick up the transmission and put it on its end into a garbage can. You'll find it easier to get the clutches aligned this way.

Xk8 I bought with the motor frozen. Took valve cover off, tensioner had failed and chain was broken.
