Symptoms:

  • Delayed Forward
  • Delayed Reverse
  • Forward or Low/Reverse clutch distress
  • Damaged valve body casting
  • Low line pressure upon engagement

Cause:

The OE valve is subjected to high side loading, which wears out the bore and reduces pressure to the clutch.

Correction:

Sonnax drop-in Forward and Reverse abuse valve kit is slightly oversized, has extended spool lengths, stabilization flats, annular grooves and a reduced spring load. This valve eliminates clutch pressure loss as well as continued bore wear. One valve and spring work for either the Forward or Reverse abuse location.
