Symptoms:

  • Erratic line pressure
  • High line pressure
  • Low line pressure
  • Clutch slippage
  • Harsh shifts
  • Low cooler flow
  • No cooler flow
  • Overheated transmission
  • Soft shifts
  • Converter concerns

Cause:

Continuous oscillation of pressure regulator valve results in excess bore wear, causing erratic line pressure and/or restricting cooler/lube flow.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew line pressure performance by installing Sonnax drop-in pressure regulator valve kit.
