Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits

Sonnax Zip Kit ZF6-053-ZIP targets the root cause of multiple complaints by sealing the critical circuit pressure losses in the ZF6HP19/26/32 (Generation 1) valve bodies with a 053 separator plate. The kit contains uniquely designed parts to prevent the loss of pressures within the main line, solenoid regulator, reverse, clutch control and solenoid apply circuits with no special tools required.
The Zip Kit quick guide provides clear and easy instructions on one sheet to get the unit sealed up and back on the road fast. In addition to general rebuilding tips and technical information, the technical booklet included in this kit contains vacuum testing and additional repair options for higher mileage units or for repairing specific complaints which are beyond the scope of this kit.
This Zip Kit ZF6-053-ZIP is designed for Generation 1 applications with a 053 separator plate only. Separate Zip Kits, ZF6-6R60-ZIP (for ZF6HP19/26/32 Generation 1 and Ford 6R60, 6R75, 6R80) and ZF6-GEN2-ZIP (for ZF6HP21/28/34 Generation 2) are available for other applications. To verify valve bodies, see this identification guide for further details.
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.
