What happens here

With the filter and harnesses removed, proceed to unbolt the entire valve body from the transmission case. The presenter highlights that there are many bolts holding it in place, so keeping track of their locations and lengths is crucial. Once all bolts are removed, carefully lower the valve body. Be cautious as there may be small checkballs that can fall out during removal. The presenter removes the valve body and then cleans it, noting a worn spot on its surface which he will consult with experts about.
