My truck was missing the check valve when I bought it, and I recently called a transmission shop about rebuilding the trans. When I told the mechanic that I wanted the check valve reinstalled, he told me my truck wouldn't drive without one as it aids the transmission in build pressure. He couldn't believe that I can drive my truck without one.
As a word of caution to you people wanting to remove the check valve, in colder weather, you're going to have to allow time for the truck to warm up as it won't want to move, especially in reverse, with the valve missing.
Hey squirrels, instead of hose clamps, why not have pressed on fittings instead, like power steering pumps?

I wont warranty any rebuild unless that check valve is removed. Its actually common practice to remove it. That check valve does not aid in building anything. It simply doents allow the fluid to drain back into the pan.

MonteC you are correct, The valve bodies, not OD units, are slightly different due to the H/E designation. I was tired last night. One (the E) is electronically controlled vs. a hydraulically controlled VB on the H. Sorry for the misinformation minis2003! I will fix that in the above post so future readers don't misquote bad info later on.
Eh. Close enough i guess. Youd need to take classes on the subject to get a better understanding i suppose.
