Symptoms:

Flare shifts
Bump shifts
Harsh shifts
Slipping gears

Cause:

Wear at the 1-2/4-5, 2-3 and/or 3-4 overlap control valve sleeves allows modulating oil pressure to exhaust.

Correction:

These modulating sleeves position the valve for proper clutch feed. Sonnax drop-in sleeve kits correct the wear condition and restore control of clutch pressure apply or exhaust.
