To verify that the spacer plate is peening evenly and the ball is sealing correctly, seat the check-ball on the spacer plate. Shine a beam of light on
the opposite side and inspect for light between the spacer plate and check-ball (see Figure 2). No trace of light should be present. If light can be
seen, a proper seal does not exist, and the spacer plate must be replaced.
SERVICE MANUAL REFERENCE:
Refer to the HYDRA-MATIC Automatic Transaxle/Transmission Diagnosis or Unit Repair section of your service manual for proper check-ball
locations and functions.
