Symptoms:

  • 2-3 Flare
  • 4-5 Flare
  • Delayed Reverse
  • Reverse slip
  • 3-5-Reverse clutch burned
  • Ratio codes
  • Bind-up
  • Burnt Reverse clutch

Cause:

Oscillation of the 3-5-R clutch regulator valve causes bore wear that allows crucial pressure loss and prevents proper hydraulic actuation of 3-5-R clutches.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew shift performance by reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized 3-5-R clutch regulator valve kit.

Warning:

Measure small spool on OE valve to determine correct Sonnax oversized 3-5-R clutch regulator valve kit.

3-5-R clutches in Ford 6F50, 6F55 and GM first generation 6T70 and 6T75 units are applied in 3rd, 5th and Reverse Gears in conjunction with other clutch packs. As the 3-5-R clutch regulator valve oscillates and strokes over time, bore deterioration results, which prevents proper hydraulic control of the 3-5-R clutch pack. This can cause flares, slipping, erratic clutch apply timing, ratio codes, bind-ups and burnt 3-5-R clutches. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized 3-5-R clutch regulator valve kit 124740-21K restores normal shift operation by re-establishing the hydraulic integrity of the 3-5-R circuit.
