Hey guys, thought I'd do a write-up on removal and replacement of an A140E valve body. This opportunity comes courtesy of an '00 5S-FE Camry that I did an engine replacement on (bought it cheap with bad rod knock). After firing it up with fresh Valvoline MaxLife Dex/Merc, I noticed that forward gears worked fine (it would shift appropriately from 1 to 4, and would lock up the torque converter at the right speeds), but it would slip bad in reverse: you had to rev it to 3000 RPM to get it...
