Product Description
Sonnax part number: 54200-06K
4L30E Boost Valve
Large Ratio - OE Code 264
No tooling required
In GM 4L30-E, AR25 and AR35 units, the OE boost valves are made of steel, whereas the sleeves are made out of aluminum. Over time the valve wears against the sleeve and causes boost pressure leakage. The result is low line pressure during boost, with associated burnt clutches. Sonnax boost valve kit 54200-06K restores pressure control to the boost circuit.
- Sleeve is made from wear-resistant aluminum and incorporates annular oil passages to distribute boost oil evenly to the valve and reduce side loading
- Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear
- Valve includes oil grooves which allows the valve to ride on a film of oil, further reducing wear
- Valve and sleeve are made from the same material to help reduce leakage due to thermal expansion
- Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
Symptoms
- Low line pressure
- Burnt clutches
- Soft upshifts
- Delayed Reverse
Cause
Leakage between the boost valve and sleeve.
Correction
Sonnax drop-in boost valve kits are available in three different ratios to restore pressure control in most OE applications.
