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.

You need this if...

Vacuum testing at the port(s) indicated fails to hold the recommended minimum in-Hg, or if wear is visually detected.
