Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
GM vehicles equipped with 4L80-E and 4L85-E transmissions may exhibit problems such as TCC shudder, burnt converter linings, TCC apply and release concerns and related codes. These issues can often be caused by critical pressure loss due to excess wear in the TCC regulator bore. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized TCC regulator valve kit 34994-18K restores hydraulic integrity of the TCC control circuit to return robust TCC operation.
Sonnax valve body layouts provide a detailed overview of individual units making it quick and easy to determine what’s available for the specific valve body you’re working on. See all Sonnax valve body layouts.
