Symptoms:

  • Delayed Forward
  • Delayed Reverse with harsh engagement
  • Forward clutch failure

Cause:

Continuous oscillation of the forward and reverse regulating valve causes wear in the bore of the valve body, allowing solenoid pressure fluid to cross-leak to the exhaust. This results in valve instability and clutch output pressure irregularities.

Correction:

Recover hydraulic control and renew solenoid pressure performance by reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized forward and reverse regulating valve kit.

You need this if...

Vacuum testing at the port(s) indicated fails to hold the recommended minimum in-Hg, or if wear is visually detected.
