Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
Excess wear at the lockup relay control sleeve in Aisin AW and Toyota/Lexus units with casting code 9132 prevents proper TCC operation and can result in various adverse symptoms. TCC apply and release concerns often develop, coupled with overheated fluid, inadequate lubrication, bushing and solenoid failure, RPM fluctuation, and converter codes. Installing Sonnax lockup relay control valve kit 77741-02K restores critical hydraulic clearances, allowing renewed TCC and lube operation.
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.
