View Instructions
The end plugs at the kick downshift control, manual low, and throttle downshift control valves become loose. This allows solenoid feed oil to exhaust and drop below 40-45 psi, which prevents the shift valves from stroking fully. The Sonnax kit 37947-13K contains o-ringed end plugs for these three locations, which positively seal the circuit to prevent oil loss.
- O-ringed end plugs positively seal the circuit to prevent oil loss.
- End plugs have threaded ends for ease of installation and removal.
