Symptoms:

  • Converter concerns
  • Lockup concerns

Cause:

Minimal valve-to-bore sealing at the line pressure to converter feed circuit allows critical apply fluid to leak past valve spool and directly to exhaust/sump. Typical cores show low vacuum at this critical TCC apply circuit and confirms the issue of poor valve-to-bore sealing.

Correction:

Remove multiple TCC lockup concerns by installing the Sonnax enhanced, drop-in TCC regulator valve kit that utilizes additional sealing area to prevent critical line pressure from cross-leaking to exhaust. A thicker accumulator spring retainer is also included to replace the often damaged OE retainer.
