Continuous movement of the pressure regulator valve wears the valve body bore in Aisin
AW 450-43LE units. Bore and/or valve wear causes erratic line pressure, resulting in delayed
engagements, loss of lockup and high or low line pressure, depending on the area and extent
of wear.
The boost assembly is designed to increase line pressure in Drive and Reverse. When the
sleeve is worn on the inside, boost or EPC fluids can leak to exhaust or cross leak and increase
forces on the valve. Leakage to exhaust reduces line rise. Cross leaks can result in broken
clutch drums or cases. The Sonnax oversized PR valve, boost valve and sleeve kit 94987-11K
restores hydraulic control to these circuits.
Features & Benefits
Both the Sonnax aluminum boost and pressure
regulator valves are hardcoat anodized to
reduce wear
