A worn OE pressure regulator valve can be detected in two ways. The first is a dynamometer test that reveals low line pressure during boost conditions (look for 50-100 psi less than specified in Reverse). The second is vehicle symptoms such as clutch slippage, reverse chatter and 3-4 clutch failure. Any of the above problems indicate bore wear that should be addressed.

To address pressure regulator leakage in GM 4L60, 200-4R pump covers, Sonnax offers oversized pressure regulator valve 77917-06. The Sonnax valve permits pump covers to be restored to OE specifications by correcting for wear and leakage at the pressure regulator valve.

• Refurbish the pump cover by reaming the bore and installing an oversized pressure regulator valve
• The pressure regulator valve helps restore control over the pressure regulating circuit by eliminating leakage
