Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
Toyota/Lexus vehicles equipped with listed transmissions frequently exhibit TCC and lube/cooler flow problems due to excess wear in the lockup relay valve bore. This bore deterioration allows vital fluid loss, often resulting in TCC apply and release concerns, TCC codes, lube failures, overheating and burned TCC lining. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized lockup relay valve kit 147741-07K restores hydraulic integrity of these circuits and normal TCC/cooler/lube function.
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.
