scott mcfee Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi I need to remove the valve body on my 97 olds cutlass supreme. I have a P1870 code, I can see some increased engine rpm, increased water trans temps. The fluid did not burn and there is not much metal in the pan.I am told the accumulator bore is worn out. What is best way to remove this valve body? thanks scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 R&R'ng the valve body involves dropping the left side of the cradle and removing the side pan. I honestly can't remember if the drive chain has to come out or not. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you have the tools, go for it. That being said, there could be other internal damage you can't see. If the car is worth something to you, I'd just take it to a trans shop.
