View Instructions Find a DistributorThe OE manual valve in Ford 5R110W units is prone to anodization flaking and degradation resulting in premature wear of the valve and loss of hydraulic control. Sonnax offers a slightly oversized direct replacement manual valve 36940-22 that outperforms the OE valve. This drop-in Zip Valve™ installs quickly and easily, no reaming or special tools required.
