In Jatco/Nissan RE5R05A units, pilot valve "A" feeds the line pressure modulating solenoid, and the TCC solenoid. Pilot valve "B" feeds the following solenoids: direct and input clutch, front brake band, low coast brake and high and low/Reverse. Various shift complaints, lockup apply and line pressure problems can occur depending upon which bore is worn. Sonnax "A" or "B" pilot valve kit 63741-13K allows the valve body casting to be restored. With the improved materials and valve support, the service life can be extended beyond that of the OE casting.
