Symptoms:

  • TCC apply & release concerns
  • Burnt TCC apply components
  • Overheated transmission
  • Bushing wear

Cause:

Oscillation of the steel secondary pressure regulator valve within the aluminum casting causes wear, which will allow converter feed oil to leak to exhaust and not supply the lube circuit, resulting in converter complaints, burnt apply components and lube-related failures.

Correction:

Restore proper hydraulic control by reconditioning the bore and replacing worn valve with Sonnax oversized secondary pressure regulator valve kit.

In early Toyota/Lexus A340E and A340H (Type 1) units, the secondary pressure regulator valve receives regulated line fluid pressure from the main pressure regulator valve and routes it to the converter and lubrication circuits. The continual oscillation of the steel valve within the cast aluminum sleeve creates wear, allowing this valuable fluid pressure to exhaust, resulting in converter complaints, burnt apply components and lube-related failures. Sonnax oversized secondary pressure regulator valve kit 97741-17K restores proper hydraulic clearance and includes an O-ringed end plug to positively seal the balance pressure circuit.

  • Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear
  • O-Ringed end plug positively seals the balance pressure circuit
  • Valve
  • End Plug
  • O-Rings (2) 1 Extra
