no i never did the sonnax valve, if i ever need to pull the trans open again i will do it next time.

 

I was just curious as to what fixed the converter issue. Maybe the old pump volume was to low at idle???

i had the truck out last night and it seems when the trans temp get to 150+ the lock up problem acts up a abit in reverse only.

not so much that it bogs the truck down to stall out but it is noticeable abit

did someone mention their was a spring i can replace in the pump to make more pressure at idle? or how does that work?

Thanks guys.

 

anyone? i bumped the idle up in my truck 100rpm and it helped abit but its still just happening in reverse only.

 

I will try and get some pics for you tomorrow...

You need to add an inner spring to the "Converter Limit Valve" Factory limits it to ~100 PSI. Adding an inner spring will bring it up to ~150. This will increase the pressure and volume to the converter. Let me know if you need anything...

Chris

 

ok where can i get one of these springs? it looks like i will need to pull the pump out to get to this right?

Thanks!

 

Correct, out and apart. I can send you one, just take a while...

I would also put the Sonnax valve in, could be VB wear as well...

Chris

 

ok sounds good, i would like to get one asap.
also where can i get the sonnax valve from?

thanks.

 

I sent you an email........
