Vehicles with Ford 4R70E, 4R70W, 4R75E, 4R75W and AODE transmissions often have erratic line pressure, poor line rise and/or throttle-sensitive buzz. This can result in harsh or soft shifts and band/clutch failure as well as other drivability concerns. Worn pressure regulator valve spools allowing pressure escape are a common problem in these units. Installing Sonnax main pressure regulator valve 76948-09 restores normal line pressure operation in all ranges.
If bore is excessively worn, install Sonnax oversized pressure regulator and boost valve kit 76948-17K. Sonnax valve replaces both styles of OE valve found in '96-later units.
'91–'95 PR valve and '96-later PR valve designs are not interchangeable. For '91–'95 PR valve, see 76948-01.
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.
