Symptoms:

  • Burnt clutches
  • Lost or damaged component

Cause:

The spring stem of the valve and the exhaust gap in the retaining clip are close enough in size that the valve pushes through the gap, damaging itself. This can also lead to spring entanglement and damage.

Correction:

Modifying the spring stem and installing Sonnax latch valve stem repair kit relieves the interference issue and prevents future stem and spring damage.

Latch Valve Stem Repair Kit
Part No. 105740-50K

View Instructions Find a Distributor

Ford 10R140 transmissions utilize a set of two latch valves. The spring stem of the valve and the exhaust gap in the retaining clip make contact with one another and causing raised edges, burrs, and other damage on the stem. This valve damage can lead to spring entanglement, improper stroking of the valve and potentially bore wear, which can result in failures and burnt clutches.

Prevent future stem and spring damage with Sonnax latch valve stem repair kit 105740-50K. This kit includes a steel sleeve for the shortened OE valve to operate in, along with a new spring. The steel stem insert provides a cost-effective alternative to drop-in or oversized valve kits. Designed for fast, easy installation, this kit restores OE function and guards against future wear.

  • Reinforces the valve stem to prevent future wear
  • Less expensive than replacement valve kits
  • Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
