Required tool kit 95200-TL is no longer in production. Check with your distributor for availability.
In Saturn TAAT units, the pressure regulator valve is electronically controlled and oscillates continuously in the casting bore, causing excessive wear. This wear will prevent proper stroking of the valve and line pressure will go higher or lower than commanded. The hydraulic integrity of the circuit can be re-established by using the highly wear-resistant Sonnax pressure regulator sleeve kit 95200-05K with the OE pressure regulator valve. A new OE-sized Sonnax pressure regulator valve 95200-06 is now available when the casting has been remanufactured or the original valve is damaged.
