Symptoms:

  • Low line pressure
  • 2-3 Flare
  • No 3rd
  • No 4th
  • No 5th
  • Delayed Forward
  • 5th Gear only
  • No lockup

Cause:

The OE steel valve results in excessive clearance during hot operation and frequently sticks when cold. Bore wear can reduce available solenoid modulator pressure, resulting in delayed forward, flare on 2-3, TCC slippage or soft shifts overall. Bore wear at the inboard end results in excess solenoid pressure, improper gear or harsh shifts.

Correction:

The Sonnax oversized solenoid modulator valve made of wear resistant hardcoat anodized aluminum re-establishes proper pressures. Additional support is given to the valve by adding length to the outboard spool.
