Symptoms:

  • Solenoid performance codes
  • Wrong gear starts
  • Clutch failure

Cause:

Excess bore wear at AFL (actuator feed limit—GM) or solenoid pressure regulator (Ford) bore allows pressure loss that causes drivability concerns.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew shift performance by installing drop-in Sonnax AFL/solenoid pressure regulator valve kit.

You need this if...

Vacuum testing at the port(s) indicated fails to hold the recommended minimum in-Hg, or if wear is visually detected.

Note: Due to the design changes on the Sonnax sleeve and valve, post-install vacuum testing at the inboard port is not a valid sealing test.
