The valve body, 38.25 in the Bentley. I just cleaned mine out a while back,
and while it didn't solve my problem it definitely needed to be done. Two of
the valves were just flat stuck. It isn't that involved but it's messy, like
pretty much anything involving ATF. You need to have a large clean place to
work without distractions and you need to be _very_ organized.

Cya,
Robert
