Transmission Valve Bodies

High horsepower engines require modifications to their power train to prevent the transmissions from failing. A stock transmission has
limited clutch material and its holding ability can be improved by increasing the amount of clutch apply pressure by reworking the stock valve body.

Our original valve bodies had many modifications that resulted in some odd shifting patterns that required a lot of special tuning to get the shifts just right. In the fall of 2001 we completely revised the modifications of our valve body! A new manual valve was created, new springs and port sizes have been developed, and new governor piston dimensions and adjustments have been made. We have large ports for better flow rates to cool the convertor in lock up as well improving the time to evacuate the convertor for quicker clutch apply time. We are installing new solenoids on all valve bodies.

We also have 2nd gear lock up available so you can use 2nd gear for some serious engine retarding. A TorqLoc switch will have to be used to activate this function.

If you have an extremely high horsepower engine we can preset the valve body for pressures up to 180 psi! Normal applications are usually set for 100 psi.

Each valve body is tested on our Answermatic 2000 tester before shipping. Take a look at the installation procedure. It is available under the button on the right hand side of the screen!!
