Reverse pressure from the manual valve in Ford 5R55N transmissions is routed through the reverse engagement valve prior to applying the direct clutch. Excessive wear at the valve bore can prevent solenoid feed oil pressure from correctly positioning the engagement valve, allowing reverse pressure to be reduced. Low reverse pressure can result in slipping or loss of Reverse, burned direct clutches or delayed reverse engagement. Sonnax oversized reverse engagement valve kit 56947J-59K can restore proper hydraulic function and prevent future wear.

Note

Associated tool kit F-27741-TL13 can be used with multiple Sonnax kits, including one other 5R55N application, three 5R55W and 5R55S applications, and a Toyota U150/U250E application.
