Symptoms:

  • Harsh shifts
  • Erratic line pressure
  • Broken parts due to excessive line pressure
  • High line pressure
  • Burnt clutches
  • Restricted converter/lube flow
  • Soft shifts

Cause:

Excess pressure regulator bore wear allows fluid loss, preventing normal line pressure control.

Correction:

Restore appropriate line pressure in all ranges by reconditioning the bore and installing wear-resistant Sonnax oversized pressure regulator valve kit.
