overlap, making diagnosis difficult. The solenoids are prone to sticking of the inter-
nal pintle, creating inconsistent movement of the solenoid valves. Shift complaints
and pressure/flow related issues result. Remanufactured linear solenoid kits (set of
three solenoids) from Sonnax (Figure 12) were developed with an exclusive Sonnax
process that eliminates sticking solenoid problems. These solenoids are 100% tested
for pressure curve performance on a valve body test stand and calibrated to OE
specifications. Readjustment should not be required if the valve body leakage has
been addressed and a relearn process completed.
