Tooling Required
8L45 8L90 Oversized S1 S5 Clutch Control Valve Kit
Burnt clutches and poor shifts are common issues with GM 8L45 and 8L90 transmissions. These issues can be caused by worn clutch control bores allowing valuable clutch apply fluid pressure to leak, reducing the force needed to apply the clutches. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized S1/S5 clutch control valve kit 154740-42K restores proper function.
- Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear
- Lengthened valve spool utilizes unworn bore section to seal apply oil

Cause
