Symptoms:

  • Overheating
  • Overheated fluid

Cause:

The thermal bypass valve in the OE cooler bypass valve can become stuck in the cooler bypass position, causing hot fluid to circulate in the transmission that leads to overheating.

Correction:

Removing the OE thermal bypass valve and replacing with the Sonnax thermal bypass eliminator ensures fluid always circulates through the cooler and keeps temps down.
