Ford C6 Oversized Modulator-Valve Kit
TF81SC TCC Solenoid
Vehicles with Ford C6 transmissions frequently exhibit troublesome issues including stacked upshifts, no kick-down,
poor line-pressure control, worn cases and direct-clutch
failure. The Sonnax oversized modulator-valve kit 3683301K allows you to salvage the case and effectively restore
normal shift operation, the company said.
Whatever It Takes now has available the solenoid for the
2005-up TF81SC torque-converter clutch. The solenoid
also fits the TF80SC, the company said.

Honda/Acura 4-Speed Valve-Body Upgrade Kit
Transtar now carries the bearings for Nissan JF010E and
JF011E continuously variable transmissions.
The STL-HO4-388 kit with 0.388-inch CPC valves from
Superior Transmission Parts eliminates or reduces lockup
codes & clutch burnout; TCC slip/shudder at low rpm in 3rd
gear below 36 mph; long, delayed or double-bump reverseto-drive engagement when hot; light- to mid-throttle 1-2

Honda/Acura 5-Speed Valve-Body Upgrade Kit
Clutch-Pack Modules
Superior Transmission Parts’ STL-HO5-388 kit with 0.388inch CPC valves, eliminates or reduces lockup codes &
clutch burnout; TCC slip/shudder at low rpm in 3rd gear
below 36 mph; long, delayed or double-bump reverse-todrive engagement when hot; light- to mid-throttle 1-2 shudder; 1-2 slide bump; erratic, slip or bump shifts (sticking
CPC valves/leaking plugs); and
converter/case bearing “walk,”
according to the company.
Raybestos Powertrain has introduced three new completeunit-coverage clutch-pack modules that feature Stage-1
Performance Friction Material. Clutch-pack module RCPS51 provides complete coverage for the GM 4L60/60-E/65-E
units containing Stage-1 friction material and the performance-proven Z-Pak, according to the company. RCPS-52
provides complete coverage for the Nissan RE5R05A (V-6).
RCPS-53 provides complete coverage for the
Nissan RE5R05A (V-8).
Stage-1 material is manufactured with a unique
blend of high-energy
fibers for high stress and
high temperature capacity
for greater durability.
Application-Specific ATF
Remanufactured Honda J35A V-6
Idemitsu application-specific automatic-transmission fluids
are engineered for the exact friction materials and pressure
settings of Honda, Mazda, Subaru and other import transmissions, including new CVT technologies, according to the
company. Idemitsu ATF uses the same lubricant technology
as that of the vehicle manufacturers and meets or exceeds
OE heat, wear, friction and extendeddrain
requirements.
Jasper Engines & Transmissions now is remanufacturing
the Honda J35A, a 3.5L SOHC V-6 engine with variable
valve timing. Applications are 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey
and 2006-2008 Honda Ridgeline and Pilot 4WD. The engine
includes all new timing components (tensioner, belt and
idlers), new water pump, oil pan and cam sensor. It is covered by Jasper’s threeyear/100,000-mile
nationwide transferable
parts and labor warranty,
the company said.
Chrysler Bore-Sizing Tool
RE5R01A/5A Reverse-Brake Snap Ring
When used after reaming switch-valve plug bores in
Chrysler 41TE, 42LE, 42RLE, 45RFE, 545RFE, 62TE and
68RFE units, the new Sonnax bore-sizing tool 92835-BST2
provides exact bore sizing and superior surface finish in
preparation for the installation of the Sonnax oversized solenoid-switch-valve plug kit 92835-18K, according to the
company.
Superior Transmission Parts offers a heavy-duty
SuperTuff® replacement snap ring for the reverse brake in
the RE5R01A/5A. The OE snap ring is very thin and narrow
and is prone to breakage, according to the company. Over
time the flexing and “bowing” effects distort the OE ring
and cause it to dish outward and pop out of the
groove. When this occurs
the retainer plate, waved
“crest-to-crest” release
spring and piston will
pop out of position and
cause a no-move or
slip/bind-up in reverse,
also causing damage to
the parts in the rear of
the case.

A4P Overhaul Kit
GM 6T70/75 4-5-6 Accumulator-Piston Kit
Corteco has introduced TransTec® overhaul kit DP2634 to
service the A4P RWD/AWD four-speed step transmission.
Vehicle applications include several Daihatsu, Subaru and
Toyota vehicles with three- or four-cylinder engines in
model years ranging from 2005 to 2014. Featured sub-kits
and components include a sealing-ring kit, Duraprene pan
gasket, converter-hub seal, manual-lever seal and extension-housing
seal, the company said.
The new Sonnax 4-5-6 accumulator-piston kit 124740-04K
corrects issues including ratio codes, harsh/delayed application of the clutch pack, burnt clutches and slipping/flares
in first-generation GM 6T70 and 6T75 transmissions, the
company said. Featuring an O-ring for positive sealing and
upgraded materials to protect against premature wear, the
kit is easy to install with no machining or special tools required.
Transmission Fluids
Honda/Acura/Saturn 5-Speed Valve-Body Upgrade
Kit
Transtar is now distributing Idemitsu vehicle-specific transmission fluids. The fluids are designed to OE specifications
and help prevent comebacks resulting from use of an incorrect fluid, the company said.
The STL-HO5-MDKA and MDKA-L valve-body upgrade kit
from Superior Transmission Parts is specifically developed
for Honda/Acura/Saturn. It eliminates or reduces lockup
codes & clutch burnout; TCC
slip/shudder at low rpm in
3rd gear below 36 mph;
long, delayed or doublebump reverse-to-drive engagement when hot; light- to
mid-throttle 1-2 shudder; 12 slide bump; erratic, slip or
bump shifts (sticking CPC
valves/leaking plugs); and
converter/case bearing
“walk,” the company said.
Ford 6F35 Oversized PR-Valve Kit
1/2-Ton Air Transmission Jack
Ford 6F35 transmissions may exhibit multiple line-pressure
and converter-related problems due to excess wear in the
main pressure-regulator bore. Featuring advanced materials
to combat premature wear, Sonnax oversized pressure-regulator-valve kit 144510-03K will restore proper line pressure and renew shift characteristics in all ranges, the
company said.
For a limited time, Transtar is offering a free fuel-tank
adapter with the purchase of a Sunex T7796 1/2-ton air
transmission jack (Transtar part number T7796). To receive
the adapter, customers should order or ask for part number

GM 6L90-E Intermediate Shaft
Honda MT4A Overhaul Kits
TCS Products has released the new 6L90-E Intermediate
Shaft as a strong and durable replacement for the problematic OEM shaft’s high rate of failure when high horsepower,
superchargers and turbos are used, the company said. TCS
has eliminated the hub damper and increased the contact
area between the hub and shaft by 300%. The shaft is a
100% drop-in product made from billet 300M alloy steel.
Whatever It Takes now offers a banner kit and a master kit
for the 2010-up Honda MT4A. The banner kit features
Raybestos GPX frictions. The master kit includes steel
plates, the company said.
Ford 6F35 Shift-Improvement Kit
5R55W/N/S Heavy-Duty Snap Ring
The all-new Sonnax Zip Kit 6F35-ZIP tackles the root cause
of multiple complaints including burnt brakes/clutches, delayed engagement, inadequate lubrication and low pressure
in Ford 6F35 units. The kit contains unique parts designed to
seal critical circuit-pressure losses, resolving numerous shift
problems to get vehicles back on
the road fast, according to the
company. It provides quick, hassle-free installation with no reaming or special tools required and
also includes a detailed tech
booklet featuring in-depth rebuild
and inspection tips for comprehensive valve-body repair.
The new K0105 SuperTuff® front-hub/front-ring-gear
heavy-duty snap ring from Superior Transmission Parts is
a more-durable replacement for the OE snap ring, according to the company.
Transmission Cooler Flush
Lubegard transmission cooler flush available from Transtar
(part number M465KDW) is ideal for
shops without dedicated flushing
machines, according to the company. The high-pressure, water-based
formula removes contaminants from
transmission coolers and lines, getting rid of grease, dirt, sludge and
metal shavings. It also inhibits the
return of foreign deposits (including
rust) and prevents the contamination
of new and rebuilt units. The flush
leaves no soapy residue and contains no CFCs or chlorinated solvents.
