Symptoms:

  • Low line pressure
  • High line pressure
  • Poor shift quality
  • Low lube oil flow
  • Burnt clutches

Cause:

Continuous oscillation of the pressure regulator valves causes valve body bore wear, which results in line pressure irregularities and valve instability.

Correction:

Sonnax oversized pressure regulator valve kit allows the valve body bore to be refurbished and restores proper pressure control.

Warning:

Required tool kit 89010-TL is no longer in production. Check with your distributor for availability

In listed Toyota/Lexus transmissions, the continuous oscillation of the pressure regulator valve wears the valve body bore. If severe wear occurs at the balance line circuit, the pressure regulator valve won't stroke to reduce line pressure and feed the converter/lube circuits. This can result in high line pressure, harsh shifts, reduced converter pressure and loss of lube. Severe wear at the other pressure regulator valve circuits can allow line pressure to exhaust or go to sump, resulting in low line pressure, soft shifts, and burned clutches and bands. The Sonnax oversized valves [89010-03K] and 97855-24K allow the valve body to be refurbished to restore proper clearances. See chart to find which part fits your application. Hardened steel valves allow valve body to be refurbished to restore hydraulic integrity.

Does not work for the A340* 4-spool pressure regulator valve, 4 or fewer solenoids (late).
