Skyhawk L4-112 1.8L VIN 0 TBI (1982)
FIGURE 2 - AUXILIARY VALVE BODY TO COVER GASKET
2.
Particles of gasket material sticking the torque converter clutch apply valve or plugging the converter release orifice in the control valve spacer
plate. If a torn gasket is found, remove the gasket material from either the converter clutch apply valve or the control valve spacer-plate. Replace
the torn gasket, with a new gasket, but first remove area marked (in Fig. 2) by carefully cutting with a knife.
3.
An intermittent incorrect signal from the vehicle speed sensor (V.S.S.). Dirt or grease on the magnet field plate in the V.S.S. might be sending an
early signal so that the converter clutch engages early. Remove the V.S.S. and clean it.
4.
A leak between the turbine shaft I.D. and the inner turbine shaft sleeve. If all of the items above have been performed and the condition still exists,
replace the turbine shaft.
