Install internal transmission components as disassembled. Any old gasket material left on the case can cause the valve body and/or the transmission not to function properly. Be sure that the transmission case is absolutely clean where the valve body mounts.

Scrape all old valve body and pan gasket material off of case. If there is a wavy cushion plate present, discard and replace with two (2) flat steel clutch plates. Since you have NOT modified the reverse piston and are using the stock configuration of clutches (replace wavy cushion plate with flat steel clutch plate), the clearance will be acceptable as set. Replace with flat steel clutch plate.Ĭlutch clearance setting for ten (10) clutch set-up: .060" -.080".Ĭlutch clearance for stock clutch pack: Use stock clearance. BTE recommends using a ten (10) clutch set-up for better performance and reliability.ĭo not use the steel wavy cushion plate, if equipped. NOTE: Some Powerglide transmissions came with only eight (8) clutches and some came stock with ten (10) clutches. This design does not require this stock item. STEP 6 DO NOT BOLT STOCK DETENT PLATE onto the new BTE Full Manual Valve Body. STEP 5 Clean case thoroughly to remove any aluminum shavings. NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 are not necessary unless the customer wants to prep the case for future installation of a trans brake valve body. This hole will intersect with hole that was drilled in step 3. If case is not thick enough use a 5/16” drill. If you have enough metal, use a 3/8” to drill this hole. STEP 4 (See Photo 2) Inspect thickness of case. Using a 3/8” drill, drill through back of case, smooth and deburr both openings of the hole. STEP 3 (see Photo 1) After transmission has been disassembled you will need to enlarge hole shown. Do not remove the O-ring from the governor support during disassembly. When you are removing the governor, be careful not to tear the support gasket as it will be reused. After the BTE Full Manual Valve Body has been installed and you are ready to reassemble the transmission, YOU MUST reinstall the OE skid plate only. These must be removed during disassembly.

NOTE: Early model (’64-’66) Powerglide transmission have rear pump gears, skid plates, and drive pins. STEP 2 Remove transmission oil pan, valve body, tailhousing, governor, governor (rear) support, front pump, band, clutch drum, planetary, reverse clutches, reverse piston, and detent plate. STEP 1 Drain and remove transmission from vehicle. NOTE: Refer to a motor manual or service manual for general disassembly instructions if you are not familiar with automatic transmission repair and assembly. Wash parts thoroughly with a good solvent and replace any components that show excessive wear. Use a box or pan to keep transmission parts from getting misplaced. Select a well-lighted work area and it is very important to keep all parts clean. IMPORTANT: Before you begin installation allow transmission to cool to avoid burns from hot fluid or parts. The transmission will have to be manually shifted into all gears. Installation of the BTE Full Manual Valve Body will eliminate any automatic features. Please read instructions completely, then follow each step to install valve body. POWERGLIDE FULL MANUAL VALVE BODY SHIFT PATTERN – FORWARD: LOW, DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, PARK
