Symptoms:

  • Poor line pressure control
  • Low line rise in Drive
  • Soft shifts
  • Burnt clutches

Cause:

Wear between the reducing valve and sleeve allows line pressure fluid, acting as cutback pressure, to exhaust to the sump. This prevents proper hydraulic control of the pressure regulator valve and can cause high and erratic line pressure.

Correction:

Install Sonnax drop-in reducing valve kit, featuring upgraded materials and minimal clearances to prevent wear and restore proper hydraulic control.
