Symptoms:

  • TCC apply & release concerns
  • Burnt TCC apply components
  • Overheated transmission
  • Bushing wear

Cause:

Oscillation of the steel secondary pressure regulator valve within the aluminum casting causes wear, which will allow converter feed oil to leak to exhaust and not supply the lube circuit, resulting in converter complaints, burnt apply components and lube related failures.

Correction:

Restore proper hydraulic control by refurbishing the bore and replacing worn components with Sonnax oversized secondary pressure regulator valve kit.
