Common problems in vehicles with GM 4L80-E and 4L85-E transmissions are uncontrollable line rise (upward of 500-600 psi), high line pressure in Reverse, buzzing noise, broken direct clutch drums and/or broken cases. These problems are usually caused by Reverse boost oil that enters the torque signal circuit due to a wear-created cross leak at the sleeve. High line pressure and buzz is created by oil leakage past the aluminum balance plug. Sonnax boost vavle kit 34200-03K eliminates these problems.
If you detect leakage between the sleeve and pump bore, use 34200-01K, which includes an O-ringed sleeve to compensate for pump bore wear and prevent pump scrappage.
