ABSTRACT:
A clamping assembly for securing a transmission operating control valve body to a transmission case. The clamping assembly utilizes at least one biasing member having a hub portion. The hub portion has a generally centrally disposed aperture with a plurality of spring arms extending radially outwardly from the hub portion. Each spring arm has a distal end that is adapted to engage the valve body. A spacer is interposed between the hub portion and the valve body. A fastener is receivable through the aperture and through the valve body to be anchored in the transmission case, thereby securing the valve body in position. In the exemplary form of the invention shown and described each spring arm is provided with a preformed offset commensurate with the length of the spring arm, its cross-sectional configuration and the modulus of elasticity thereof such that when the hub portion of the biasing member is tightened against the spacer, the resulting deflection of the distal end of each said spring arm will provide a predetermined load against the valve body. The spacer may constitute a supplemental biasing member, in which case it will be provided with a spacer hub, and supplemental spring arms will extend outwardly from the spacer hub. Support posts may be carried on the supplemental spring arms to engage said valve body.
