Product Description
8L45 8L90 Actuator Feed Limit Kit
No tooling required
The actuator feed limit (AFL) valve in GM 8L45 and 8L90 transmissions functions to regulate the line pressure to other areas of the system including the converter. When the pressure exceeds the limit set by the valve and spring, the valve moves to limit the fluid through the circuit to keep the pressure at the desired level.
Excessive wear in the AFL valve bore allows pressure loss and/or malfunctioning valve cycles that causes drivability concerns. The resulting low regulated pressure from leakage can cause low clutch pressure and transmission slips or harsh shifts.
Installing Sonnax actuator feed limit valve kit 154740-35K restores proper hydraulic integrity of the circuit.
- Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear
- Highly wear-resistant valve sleeve increases life of part
- Undersized valve and replacement spring maintains OE functions and pressures
- Drop-in Zip Valve™ parts install quickly and easily
Symptoms
- Harsh shifts
- Soft slide shifts
- No shift
- Burnt clutches
- Damaged converter
Cause
Excessive wear in the actuator feed limit (AFL) valve bore allows pressure loss and/or malfunctioning valve cycles that causes drivability concerns.
