Symptoms:

  • 1-2 Flare
  • 2nd Slip
  • 5-6 Flare
  • 6th Slip
  • B1 band burned
  • Gear ratio & solenoid codes
  • Erratic shift timing
  • Harsh shifts

Cause:

Oscillation of the B1 band control valve causes bore wear, allowing critical pressure loss that prevents proper hydraulic actuation of servo and B1 band.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew shift performance by reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized B1 band control valve kit.
