Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
Common concerns associated with Ford 6F35 (Gen. 1, Gen. 2 and Gen. 3) units are high TCC slip, TCC lining degradation, TCC slip codes, and converter apply or release concerns. These issues are often caused by excess wear at the TCC control valve bore. In addition, converter/lube and cooler flow can be inhibited, resulting in an overheat situation. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized TCC control valve kit 144510-07K restores hydraulic integrity for renewed TCC, lubrication and cooler operation.
Proper TCC control relies on correct line pressure; if line pressure problems are discovered, Sonnax offers oversized pressure regulator valve kit 144510-03K.
Requires a 1/2" spacer plate between VB-FIX and pump body; see instructions for details.
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.
