Symptoms:

  • Flare shifts
  • Harsh shifts
  • Delayed engagement

Cause:

Scored accumulator bores create loss of clutch pressure or cross leaks.

Correction:

Sonnax drop-in accumulator bore sleeve is made from wear-resistant aluminum and the length of the piston-to-pin contact area has been increased to reduce piston cocking and increase sealing surface area.

1-2 Accumulator Bore Sleeve Kit
Part No. 96513K

View Instructions Find a Distributor

The 1-2 accumulator bore on Ford AX4S, AXOD and AXODE channel castings can become scored which creates loss of clutch pressure or cross-leaks. The continuous oscillation of the piston within the bore causes excess wear. In addition, a broken accumulator spring can get caught between the piston and the bore causing a deep groove in the casting wall. You can resolve these problems by installing Sonnax 1-2 accumulator bore sleeve kit 96513K.
