    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    It's a 1996 M1097R1, not A1. No, after tearing everything apart, there is NO pressure control valve anywhere. Chasing my tail thinking I'm following the manual only to find out the hard way that although referenced in the manual, it's simply not on this vehicle. Now I'm back to the beginning...

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    Here's a video of it barely moving when put into gear. No metal shavings in pan, no burnt smell. New fluid.

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    No metal shaving at all. No burnt smell either. OK, So I have to further take that thing apart and it's on the inside.

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    It's a 1996 M1097A1 with a 3 speed transmission. No TCM to pull codes off of or any flashing lights like the 2003 model I got going late last year.

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    I'm trying to figure out why one of my M1097A1 barely moves when I put it in gear. Engine racing and the thing is just crawling like a turtle. I looked up some references talking about checking this transmission control valve and making sure it isn't stuck. Fine, where is it? I can't find any...

    HMMWV problems

    So the questions are: What's the deal with the flashing yellow wait light? Is the engine toast? Is the Transmission toast? Looking underneath, the linkage is connected.

    When your TCM takes a bath...

    Yes, replaced the entire TCM. Everything works good now. Took it out for a drive and it shifted through the gears normally!

    MEP 805B problems. Will pay for technical help

    The bad part: I don't know. All I did was push in all those connectors behind the screen like the guys suggested. They said often times things get loose. OK, pushed all that in, flipped the power and then the DC green popped on. I hit the fault switch for a few seconds, fired right up. I have...

    MEP 805B problems. Will pay for technical help

    This is one project. I am trying to get it up and running correctly. I have four other HumVees, two haltracks, an armored car and a tank that I'm also busy with. I have no knowledge on these generators but am trying to learn them.
