Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
Transmissions listed above may exhibit insufficient line rise, resulting in delayed engagement, slipping in Reverse, poor shift quality, erratic line pressure and burnt clutches. These troubles can often be caused by wear in the OE pressure regulator valve bore and/or boost sleeve, which allows the pressure escape that provokes driveability concerns. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized pressure regulator and boost valve kit 63741-01K eliminates pressure loss and revives line rise and shift quality in all ranges. Hardcoat anodized aluminum pressure regulator valve combats premature wear.
Replaces both early- and late-style pressure regulators.
Sonnax valve body layouts provide a detailed overview of individual units making it quick and easy to determine what’s available for the specific valve body you’re working on. See all Sonnax valve body layouts.

Vacuum testing at the port(s) indicated fails to hold the recommended minimum in-Hg, or if wear is visually detected.
