Symptoms:

  • TCC codes
  • TCC lining failure
  • Overheated converter
  • Poor converter & cooler oil flow

Cause:

Wear at the valve bore and spools of the lockup timing valve allows critical lube pressure to cross-leak to adjacent circuits or escape to the sump. Converter charge and lube/cooler pressure and flow are negatively affected by a worn lockup timing valve.

Correction:

Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized lockup timing valve kit eliminates lost lube and pressure, restoring OE functionality to the converter charge and lube/cooler circuits.

Warning:

Required tool kit F-98892-TL22 is no longer in production. Check with your distributor for availability.
