This SONNAX kit elevates line pressure to overcome some of the internal oil loss, has a quicker EPC rise for firmer shifts, addresses leaks in the solenoid circuit, improves intermediate servo and direct clutch pressure, and improves TCC apply.
CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: Leakage of EPC oil at multiple locations diminishes line rise and feed to the TCC circuit, resulting in pressure-related shift complaints, converter issues and trouble codes. Additional leakage in the solenoid oil circuit contributes to the various shift complaints.
This kit is a combination of service items used to improve valve control and reduce oil loss in either the 4R44E/55E or 5R44E/55E.
None of the items included in this kit requires reaming, although some of the repairs point to and suggest sleeves be installed when worn beyond the scope of this kit.
Note: Prior to installing this kit, it is highly recommended to inspect the valve body for wear beyond the scope of this kit. In the event of excessive wear in critical locations, this kit should be used in conjunction with the appropriate Sonnax valve kit.
