TIME TESTED • INDUSTRY TRUSTED Transmission Report Volume 5, No. 3 October 2014 Money in the Bank - The GM/Ford Joint Venture Similar to other manufacturers, GM and Ford have made major changes to their transmission lineups over the past few years. Spurred by Federal fuel economy and emissions standards, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-speed units are now common in our industry. To help address the needs for these additional designs, GM and Ford entered into a joint venture agreement to engineer and develop transmissions. The first units to fall under this agreement were the GM Hydramatic 6T70 and the Ford Powertrain 6F50. While these units do share a lot of hard part interchangeability, some of the design differences include: • Valve Body • Case • TCM • Final Drive The 6T70 and 6F50 were the first of the co-engineered GM and Ford products to enter the market in 2007. The 6T70 is available in several different variants, including Generation 1 and Generation 2 designs for both the 6T70 and 6T75. Ford variants include the 6F50 and 6F55. Another GM front-wheel drive 6-speed also shares its engineering features with a Ford application. The GM Hydramatic 6T40 was co-engineered with the Ford 6F35. Like its cousin the 6T70, the 6T40 also is available in several variants depending on the year and model of the vehicle. These 6T40 variants include the 6T45 and 6T50 (all available in Gen. 1 or Gen. 2 designs) and the newer 6T41 and 6T46 (also known as Gen. 3 of the 6T40 and 6T45). The 6T40/6F35 families of transmissions were released for the 2008 model year, and they have become some of the most widely produced transmissions in service today.

The TEHCM includes: • Six PWM solenoids (PCS1, PCS2, PCS3, PCS4, PCS5 and TCC) • Two on/off shift solenoids (SS1/SS2) • Four pressure switches (Gen. 1 only) A filter plate is used to protect the TEHCM (GM) and solenoids from contamination on both the Ford and GM applications. The filter plate must be replaced any time the TEHCM/solenoid body is separated from the valve body. 2-6 Clutch Reg. Valve 1-2-3-4 Clutch Reg. Valve 1-2-3-4 Clutch Boost Valve Reverse & 4-5-6 Clutch Reg. Valve The GM and Ford hydraulic system layout includes 15 valves housed within the upper and lower valve bodies. The Ford solenoid body houses: • Six PWM solenoids (SSA, SSB, SSC, SSD, Line, TCC) • One on/off solenoid (SSE) 6T40 (Gen. 1) Control Valve Body Assembly Both Ford and GM designs service the solenoids as part of the assembly rather than as individual components. 6T40/6T45/6T41/6T46/6T50/6F35 GM applications mount the TEHCM internal to the transmission while Ford uses an externally mounted TCM. The TEHCM (GM)/solenoid body (Ford) includes: • Six PWM solenoids (PCS1, PCS2, PCS3, PCS4, PCS5 and TCC) • One on/off shift solenoid (SS1) TCC Control Valve TCC Blowoff Ball Valve The GM Gen. 1 TEHCM is also equipped with pressure switches for adaptive control functions. A filter plate is used to protect the TEHCM and solenoids from contamination on both the GM and Ford applications. The filter plate must be replaced any time the TEHCM/solenoid body is separated from the valve body. See chart on page 6 for details. The GM hydraulic system layout includes 11 valves housed in the upper and lower valve bodies. Ford application hydraulic systems include 10 valves and six solenoids. Unlike the GM applications, the solenoids are designed to be replaced and are available with different flow characteristics, similar to other Ford applications. Both the Ford and GM pumps for these lower torque transmissions house two valves each. 2 Transmission Report • October 2014 Pressure Regulator Valve Pump Blowoff Ball Valve ©2014 Sonnax Industries, Inc. nt Venture Nobody knows transmissions like Sonnax.™ Clutch Select & Clutch Regulator Valves Compensator Feed Limit Valve TCC Regulator Apply Valve Clutch Select & Shuttle Valve Actuator Feed Limit Valve Manual Valve Sonnax has a range of parts available for these units. For details, see application chart on page 6. The Ford and GM designs include two additional families of valves first seen in the GM 6L series transmissions: “Clutch Select Valves and Clutch Regulator Valves.” The clutch select valves control which clutches are allowed to apply/release, while the clutch regulator valves control the actual shift and the aggressiveness of that shift. Product Concerns/Issues These transmissions represent a very large and growing segment of the transmission repair market. Wear issues with the valve body components and multiple DTC’s are common at mileages above 50K. Once again, Sonnax comes to the rescue by producing an innovative product line-up to address common concerns such as: • • • • • • • • • • • • • P0741, P0742,P0752, P0872, P0877 or P0989 codes Delayed/Harsh engagements No/Slipping 4/5/6 No TCC TCC Shudder/slip Transmission overheat, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 or 5-6 Shift flare Lack of lube flow No/Slipping 3/5 Burnt 3/5/R or 4/5/6 clutches Binding on the shift Erratic shift timing Low line pressure Rest assured, Sonnax components target the root cause of the concerns including: • Compensator, AFL, PR, TCC, boost/latch, isolator and clutch regulator valves • Pressure switch rebuild kits (which will save you hundreds of dollars on each repair) • End plug leakage • Accumulator leakage 6T40 (Gen. 1) Pump Body ©2014 Sonnax Industries, Inc. Repair parts are conveniently available either in a Zip Kit®, or as individual repair kits based on your specific needs.

Nobody knows transmissions like Sonnax.™ Shop Talk A common call we get on the tech assistance line concerns AW 55-50SN troubles. Flares, harsh shifts, bind-ups, slipping, burnt clutches, you name it. As you know, these valve bodies are complex and much of the hydraulic circuitry is interdependent, which can make diagnosis sketchy. Technical Writer/Tech Support Representative Brian's Years on the Team: 1 Brian Wing arrived in the Sonnax family last year, bringing 20 years of automotive diagnostic and repair experience with him. Fortunately, we’ve found that a majority of these issues can be traced to common root causes and we’ve got you covered with solutions. Installing a remanufactured linear solenoid kit along with a Zip Kit® will cure many of these symptoms in short order so you can get your customer back on the road with confidence. Remember, after replacing any parts or making adjustments to these units, the adaptations must be reset. As always, we’re here to answer any questions you might have, so feel free to call.
