Description
C6 Boost Valve Kit, Sonnax 36941-01K.
’76-Earlier, clicker-style units
When rebuilding high performance or heavy-duty Ford C6 transmissions, it is common to find a worn boost sleeve in the clicker-style valve body. This wear causes poor line rise, which results in erratic shift timing, Reverse shudder or direct clutch failure. The reciprocating boost valve wears down the inside diameter of the boost sleeve. When this occurs, oil that enters the modulated line pressure orifice leaks past the boost valve and exhausts through the Reverse orifice, resulting in poor or no line rise. The outside diameter of the boost sleeve may allow some leakage through the valve body, which can result in insufficient line rise.
Sonnax boost valve kit 36941-01K eliminates the above problems. Replace the boost valve and sleeve to restore performance and to reduce the chance of premature failure.
- Sleeve is manufactured from highly wear-resistant aluminum alloy
- Hardcoat anodized valve combats premature wear
- Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
A number of boost valve kits are available for this unit:
- Normal line pressure boost (gas ratio): Kits 36946-01K, 36946-04K and 36941-01K.
- Increased line pressure boost (diesel ratio): Kits 36946-02K and 36946-03K are recommended for all heavy-duty applications.
- Kit 36941-01K works in early model “clicker” with screw on boost valve end plate.
- Kits 36946-01K, 36946-02K and 36941-01K include O-rings to provide additional protection against both cross-leakage and oil exhausting through the valve body bore.
