TIME TESTED • INDUSTRY TRUSTED Transmission Report Volume 5, No. 2 July 2014 Baseball, Solenoids & Apple Pie Hitting a Sweet Home Run with 55-50SN Rebuilds AW 55-50/51SN Summer is upon us, which means warmer temperatures, baseball, solenoids and apple pie. Yes, that’s right: solenoids. “What do solenoids have to do with summer, baseball and apple pie?”, you’re probably wondering. Hang in there! TRANSMISSION PRODUCTS CATALOG VOLUME A common saying from the coach to his team on the field is, “Know what you’re gonna do with it.” That’s his way of reminding players to think about the situation. If there’s one out, a runner on first and the shortstop gets the ball, players should know to go to second for the force out with the hopes of turning a double-play at first. Thinking that through before the ball is hit increases the player’s reaction time and – consequently – the chances of a successful outcome. Of course, knowing how the game is played is integral to deciding what the best play IS, not to mention what moves to make.

The primary issue with these solenoids is the sticking nature of the two internal bushings as the ATF or coil temperature increases. Summertime temperatures add to the heat dilemma, particularly in stop/go driving when the cooling system is taxed and the solenoids are exposed to increased heat. Some rebuilders are finding success changing the bushings out, with a variety to choose from. But knowing how these solenoids function and how they work with each other can help determine if there’s a play to make and which is the best choice. Team Sonnax to the rescue! Figure 1 SLU, Black SLT, Blue Connector Down SLS, Green Connector Down The three linear 55-50SN solenoids are used to control line rise (SLT), the converter clutch (SLU) and the oil flow rate and accumulation for the clutch circuits (SLS). These solenoids are fed a regulated line pressure of 90 psi max from the solenoid modulator valve. Excess or reduced pressure to the solenoids can occur when this valve wears in certain locations, leading to pintle sticking and inconsistent solenoid valve movement. Just like you must have a ball and a field to play baseball, a functional solenoid modulator valve is a MUST for proper solenoid control. Play ball! S1 S4 S2 S5 S3 "B" or "C" Code Must Use Wide Bracket The Lineup First up to bat: the SLU solenoid that controls the apply and Valve Body I.D. release of the torque converter clutch, the second (B2) clutch and the low and Reverse (B3) clutch. Hard or soft 1-2 and 2-1 shifts, firm/late TCC apply, early TCC apply or no converter lockup all can be attributed to a faulty SLU solenoid. One away! 55-50SN Late Linear Solenoid Set Performance Upgrades Sonnax engineers and manufactures the industry's finest performance and heavy duty upgrades for these and other applications: • Dodge-Cummins Diesel • GM 4L60-E • GM Powerglide ® Scan code with smartphone for high performance and heavy duty options. PERFORMANCE 2 Transmission Report • July 2014 Next up: the SLT solenoid that primarily controls line pressure in accordance with engine torque at the primary regulator valve. SLT pressure also is directed to the secondary regulator valve to control converter feed pressure and feed the lube circuit. In addition, SLT pressure influences the forward clutch, second coast clutch and 3rd gear band. A multitude of symptoms could occur from a faulty SLT solenoid: harsh/delayed Neutral-toDrive, harsh Forward, long shifts, low cooler flow, harsh TCC apply, and 2-3, 3-2, 3-4 and 4-3 shift complaints. Two down! The last to bat: the SLS solenoid that controls clutch apply pressure by regulating Drive or Reverse fluid at the shift pressure control valve to control apply of the 2nd clutch, second coast clutch or direct clutch. This means a faulty SLS solenoid could create harsh Reverse and harsh/ flared 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 shifts. The same symptoms can be caused by issues at more than one solenoid, making diagnosis on root cause sticky sometimes. Three down, and now the home team comes to the plate! ©2014 Sonnax Industries, Inc. 0SN Rebuilds Nobody knows transmissions like Sonnax.™ Hit a Home Run with Sonnax Remanufactured Solenoids Sonnax offers sets of 55-50SN remanufactured linear solenoids engineered to address not only the sticking bushing, but a host of other potential failure modes leading to the same drivability concerns. Sonnax improved the bushings with an exclusive new design that incorporates better material, a sizing method for perfect Bushings Figure 2 Critical Snout-to-Valve Body clearance Spring Adjustment Screw Critical Valve-to-Snout Clearance Wear between the solenoid valve and “snout” can result in loss of the critical SLU, SLT, SLS or solenoid modulator pressure, leading to various shift symptoms. fit and finish every time, plus resists sticking even at elevated temperatures. Base-hit, man on first! Wear between the solenoid valve and “snout” can result in loss of the critical SLU, SLT, SLS or solenoid modulator pressure, leading to various shift symptoms (Figure 2). Sonnax addresses these concerns by running every solenoid through a rigorous drive-cycle style test on a valve body test machine to ensure that excessive clearance is not occurring and reducing critical pressures. Single up the middle, men on first and second! Another potential failure mode is relaxation or coil binding of the internal solenoid spring. Sonnax tests every solenoid for concerns in this area too by verifying that the spring is providing the appropriate force to help correctly position the solenoid valve. Flare over 3rd, bases loaded!

By turning the adjustment screw inward or outward, the spring force on the valve is altered, which increases or decreases the SLT, SLS or SLU solenoid pressure. Because these solenoids are so interdependent, small adjustments can affect many areas in the drive cycle. Getting each properly adjusted to the now-aging transmission and to any other corrections made to the valve body, clutches, etc. is no easy task. Sonnax solves the adjustment dilemma by incorporating a pre-calibration setting on each solenoid that works across vehicle platforms, eliminating time-consuming tuning at the shop after installation (Figure 3). Grand-slam! Sonnax (Black) vs. New OE (Gray) Solenoid Pressure Figure 3 Sonnax pre-calibrates the 55-50SN remanufactured solenoids to precisely match OE performance, eliminating the need for tuning after installation. In addition to sets of fully tested and calibrated linear solenoids, Sonnax provides a full array of 55-50SN solutions for various shift concerns, including a brand-new 55-50SN Zip Kit that addresses the most common issues without the need for reaming.
