Symptoms:
- Downshift clunk
- Firm shifts
- Erratic EDS solenoid control and/or EDS codes
Cause:
OE accumulator piston bumpers lose elasticity and take a set due to long term heat and fluid exposure.Correction:
The Sonnax drop-in accumulator piston kit restores optimal hydraulic shock absorption and OE functionality to all the solenoid regulated circuits.6F35 (Gen. 1), 6F35 (Gen. 2), 6F35 (Gen. 3), 6R100, 6R140, 6R60, 6R75, 6R80 (2009–2014), 6R80 (2015-Later), 845RE, CFT30, ZF6HP19, ZF6HP21, ZF6HP26, ZF6HP28, ZF6HP32, ZF6HP34, ZF8HP45, ZF8HP55, ZF8HP70
Accumulator Piston Kit
Part No. 95740-15K
Also fits Ford CFT23.
You need this if... View Instructions Find a DistributorOverly firm up/downshift feel or harsh engagement can be a sign of deformed accumulator piston bumpers in listed units. The OE elastomeric (rubber) bumpers tend to take a set, resulting in loss of hydraulic damping. Sonnax direct-replacement accumulator piston kit 95740-15K restores hydraulic damping with improved service life.
- Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear
- New matching springs reproduce OE function
- Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
