Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits

There are some small diameter and length differences that can cause fit and pressure issues if mismatched into the wrong application. It is recommended to measure the locations shown here to verify that the correct OE or replacement part is fit into the appropriate application during rebuild.
Application | A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ZF6 Gen. 1, 6R60, 6R75, 6R80 ('09–'14) | .645" | .629" Dia. | .495" Dia. | .568" | .378" | .629" Dia. | .550" Dia. |
ZF6 Gen. 1 w/ 053 Separator Plate | .725" | .657" Dia. | .511" Dia. | .649" | .378" | .657" Dia. | .586" Dia. |
ZF6 Gen. 2 | .804" | .629" Dia. | .511" Dia. | .725" | .418" | .629" Dia. | .562" Dia. |
6R80 ('15-Later), 6R100 | .645" | .629" Dia. | .511" Dia. | .568" | .378" | .629" Dia. | .550" Dia. |
In ZF6HP21/28/34 (Gen. 2) valve bodies, wear is commonly found at different areas in the pressure regulator bore. Wear at the balance end causes high pressure spikes leading to broken drums, pistons or other parts and wear at the spring end of the bore allows low line pressure and lube/TC fluid to exhaust, leading to burnt converter clutches and premature bushing failure. Sonnax oversized pressure regulator valve kit 95740-69K restores valve-to-bore clearances to maintain correct pressures.
Kit is NOT compatible with ZF6HP19/26/32 (Gen.1) units. To differentiate between Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 valve bodies, see ZF Identification Guide.
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 tests at the ports indicated fail to hold the recommended minimum of in-Hg.
