Symptoms:

  • Slips & flares
  • Erratic shift feel & engagements
  • Harsh upshifts
  • Bind-up
  • Excess Reverse pressure & distorted housings
  • TCC cycling
  • TCC slip
  • Low cooler flow
  • Overheating

Cause:

Excessive solenoid pressure is caused by line pressure side-loading the steel solenoid modulator valve along with the continuous oscillation of the valve, which wears the cast aluminum bore.

Correction:

Sonnax solenoid modulator valve and high-grade aluminum sleeve allow the bore to be refurbished, and prevent side-loading of the valve and future wear.

In Toyota/Lexus U151E, U151F and U250E transmissions, the steel OE solenoid modulator valve is prone to side-loading in the bore. This side-loading action, combined with repeated oscillation of the valve, prematurely wears the cast aluminum bore causing shift and TCC concerns. Sonnax solenoid modulator valve kit 27741-13K restores normal solenoid supply pressures.

  • High-grade aluminum sleeve resists wear and provides porting to prevent valve side-loading
  • Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve incorporates annular grooves to combat premature wear and side-loading
  • Replacement spring resets regulated pressure to OE specification
  • Tool kit can also be used for 56947J-23K, 56947J-29K, 56947J-56K and 56947J-59K
  • Valve
  • Sleeve
