Cause:
Poor converter line feed pressure causes delayed engagement, pump bushing and lube failure.
Correction:
Install this steel valve for improved stability. Lube regulation improves converter feed at low RPM and high throttle conditions.
Under extreme pressure or temperature conditions, the converter/lube circuit in listed Chrysler RWD units can be restricted by the PR valve. The practice of drilling a hole between passages is problematic. This outdated technique contributes to slow engagements or — if the hole is improperly drilled — excessive converter pressure and low line pressure.
The best way to improve oil flow is to replace the OE valve with Sonnax lube regulator pressure regulator valve, which ensures oil flow under extreme operating conditions and prevents drainback when the truck is off.
