3. Remove and discard the front support assembly. Perform only the necessary steps to remove and replace the front
support assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
(1). It is only necessary to remove the torque converter/(hybrid drive unit (HDU) for 10R80 MHT), the main control,
and the transmission fluid pump to remove the front support.
4. Inspect other transmission components for damage and replace if necessary (7H351 and 7B177).
5. Perform the T3 selective shim measurement and install the new front support assembly. Refer to WSM, Section
307-01.
6. Reassemble the transmission. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

8. Perform an adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which
allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and improve shift quality. When
the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may
result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.
