Transmission Parts Toyota/Lexus UA80E UA80F UB80E UB80F Valve Body Accumulator Components

Symptoms:

Poor shift quality
Burnt clutches
Delayed engagement
TCC apply & release concerns
Low line pressure
Loss of shift solenoid control pressure

Cause:

Bore and/or piston wear in the solenoid dampers can allow for variation or loss of the fluid flow pressure between the control solenoids and the related valves and clutches.

Correction:

Sonnax drop-in solenoid damper kit corrects these circuit pressure variations by remedying bore/damper wear without the need of modifying the valve body.

Solenoid dampers are used in Toyota/Lexus UA80E/F & UB80E/F series transmissions to dampen or smooth out the signal fluid pressure applied from each control solenoid before the fluid flows to their respective valves and clutches. These components help provide a smooth operation of the transmission by removing the pressure spikes.

When the bore and/or pistons wear out, they cannot effectively dampen the variation in pressure and can potentially exhaust fluid pressure. This can result in loss of shift control pressure, delayed engagement, poor shift quality, burnt clutches and TCC apply and release concerns.

Replacing these worn out dampers can require replacing the solenoid body or the entire control valve body.

Sonnax solenoid damper kit 168740-12K returns the correct system pressure by providing a replacement piston with a positive sealing O-ring to address even worn bores.

Carburized steel pistons combat premature wear
Annular groove added to reduce wear rate
O-Ring provides positive seal to prevent critical pressure leakage in already worn bores
Mating springs to re-establish OE dampening action
Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
