Symptoms:

  • 1-2 Flare
  • 2nd Slip
  • 5-6 Flare
  • 6th Slip
  • B1 band burned
  • Gear ratio & solenoid codes
  • Erratic shift timing
  • Harsh shifts

Cause:

Oscillation of the B1 band control valve causes bore wear, allowing critical pressure loss that prevents proper hydraulic actuation of servo and B1 band.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew shift performance by reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized B1 band control valve kit.

Warning:

Required tool kit F-39741-TL48 is no longer in production. Check with your distributor for availability.

The B1 band in Aisin AW TF-80SC and TF-81SC transmissions is applied in 2nd and 6th Gears in conjunction with other clutch packs. As the B1 band control valve oscillates and strokes over time, bore deterioration results which prevents proper hydraulic control of the B1 band. This can cause flares, harsh shifts, slipping, erratic clutch apply timing, ratio codes and a burnt B1 band. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized B1 band control valve kit 39741-48K restores normal shift operation and feel by re-establishing the hydraulic integrity of the B1 circuit.
