Symptoms:

  • Lube failures
  • Overheating & reduced lube feed

Cause:

Based on early-style OE design, the valve can result in excess exhaust for lube oil. Late-style OE valve fixes this problem but is not available.

Correction:

Prevent loss of lube and restore normal operation by installing Sonnax drop-in lockup shift valve kit.

Early OE Honda/Acura 5-speed lockup shift valves can exhaust lube oil through the valve when in lockup, resulting in lube related issues. This Sonnax drop-in, updated lockup shift valve kit 98892-16K eliminates the exhaust circuit for lube oil at the lockup shift valve location (see illustration).

  • Eliminates the need for external 2nd gear lube update on early versions
