The main problems that a Valve Body replacement fixes are
- Hard shifting
A thump or jolt when changing gears is often associated with faulty valves or solenoids. Replacement eliminates these problems, restoring smooth shifting. - Delayed or skipped gears
Incorrect transmission fluid pressure distribution can cause delayed or skipped gear shifts. A new Valve Body solves these problems. - "Slipping" gears
The gear engages, but traction is lost, and the engine picks up speed without accelerating. Replacing the Valve Body corrects the fluid distribution, improving clutch engagement. - Transmission going into emergency mode
Errors in solenoids or valves can cause the automatic transmission to go into emergency mode (stuck in one gear). Replacing the Valve Body eliminates the source of the error. - Transmission fluid leaks
Damaged Valve Body gaskets can lead to fluid leaks. A new Valve Body or refurbishment of the old one with replacement of the gaskets solves this problem. - Solenoid malfunctions
Incorrect operation or failure of the solenoids that control the valves is solved by replacing the Valve Body, where new solenoids are installed. - Noises and vibrations
Extraneous noises, knocks or vibrations caused by improper fluid flow are eliminated thanks to a serviceable hydraulic plate. - Gearbox overheating
Valve Body malfunctions can cause improper fluid distribution, which leads to overheating of the automatic transmission. A new component normalizes cooling. - Reduced automatic transmission life
Long-term operation with a faulty Valve Body can accelerate the wear of other parts of the box, such as clutches and planetary gears. Replacement prevents this.
Valve Body replacement solves a wide range of problems associated with the operation of an automatic transmission (AT). The Valve Body is the central unit that controls the flow of transmission fluid to activate gears. Its malfunctions can cause various failures in the operation of the transmission.
