Sonnax 37947-11K Features:
Forward Modulation Bore
EPC (electronic pressure control) is the most critical pressure for keeping these transmissions functioning properly. However, constant oscillation of the forward and reverse modulation valves, EPC boost valve and shift end plugs creates casting bore wear that allows this valuable EPC pressure to exhaust. Installing a new EPC solenoid may raise EPC pressure enough to get the unit out the door, but unless the worn circuits are addressed, longevity is severely compromised. In the forward modulation valve bore, looseness of the outboard end plug allows EPC to exhaust, preventing the valve from stroking and creating forward engagement problems. Wear at the large spool on the forward modulation valve causes delayed forward, slide 1-2 shifts, no 3rd gear, and/or low EPC pressure. The bore plug that separates the forward modulation valve from the EPC booster valve also oscillates due to opposing spring and oil forces, creating bore wear and a path for EPC oil to exhaust. Constant oscillation of the EPC booster valve creates both bore wear and a ridge that allows the valve to stick, which can cause erratic EPC pressure, harsh shifts, or poor line rise. The forward modulation bore portion of this Sonnax kit offers numerous improvements over the OE design and refurbishes the hydraulic integrity of the worn casting bore.
Reverse Modulation Bore
In the reverse modulation valve bore, looseness of the outboard end plug allows EPC pressure to exhaust, preventing the valve from stroking and creating reverse engagement problems. The bore plug that separates the inner and outer reverse modulation valves also oscillates due to opposing spring and oil forces, creating bore wear and a path for EPC oil to exhaust. Constant oscillation of both the inner and outer valves creates bore wear that allows clutch apply oil to exhaust, which can result in no 3rd gear. The reverse modulation bore portion of this Sonnax kit offers numerous improvements over the OE design and refurbishes the hydraulic integrity of the worn casting bore.
Shift Valve End Plugs
The plug separating the EPC solenoid from the 1-2 shift valve becomes very loose due to opposing forces and allows EPC oil pressure to flow past and stroke the 1-2 valve, causing 2nd gear starts. The 2-3 shift valve plug becomes loose in the bore due to opposing forces, allowing EPC oil to exhaust. The Sonnax kit provides replacement end plugs for these locations to restore hydraulic integrity.

Motor Vehicles
WARNING: Motor vehicles contain fuel, oils and fluids, battery posts, terminals and related accessories which contain lead and lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. These chemicals are found in vehicles, vehicle parts and accessories, both new and as replacements. When being serviced, these vehicles generate used oil, waste fluids, grease, fumes and particulates, all known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.
Tools:
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Electrical Cords
WARNING: The wires of these products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
