Sonnax torque converter conversion kits are designed to upgrade the existing torque converter for improved performance characteristics like better acceleration, increased power, and smoother shifting. Many conversion kits focus on changing the stall speed, which is the engine rpm at which the torque converter fully engages, allowing for more aggressive launches or better towing capability depending on the chosen stall speed. Some kits include modifications to improve the lock-up function of the torque converter, leading to better fuel economy at cruising speeds by eliminating slippage. The torque converter conversion kits by Sonnax come with various internal component options, allowing fine-tuning to match your vehicle's specific needs and your driving style.

Sonnax heavy-duty reaction shaft kits are universal to fit all years and all input carriers. Reaction shafts used in high-torque applications, and especially in heavy vehicles, suffer from two common issues that require replacement. The splines that engage the rear planet can twist and the splines that engage the ring gear wear. OE and other aftermarket versions are made from lower strength, plain carbon steel. Sonnax heavy-duty reaction shaft kits are made from high-strength chromoly steel alloy to eliminate spline twist and spline wear. Contents include: * Reaction shaft with bushings * Reaction shaft-to-shell bearing * Reaction shaft-to-front carrier bearing * Shim

Sonnax heavy-duty intermediate overrun clutch outer races eliminate weak points. Race failure is a chronic problem with high-torque loads causing race fractures at two stress points: the radial lube holes and the sharp inside corners at the base of the outer splines. Sonnax outer races are engineered with offset lube holes so rollers never travel directly over the holes, and they are spaced so only one roller is ever positioned near a hole, radically reducing the risk of fracture. Other design improvements to the splines, plus upgraded material and a custom manufacturing process, further improve durability, doubling the torque capacity over any OE or other aftermarket races. Sonnax heavy-duty intermediate overrun clutch outer races are direct replacements offering unrivaled reliability at any power level.

Failure of the intermediate stub shaft and direct drum are almost inevitable when transmissions are pushed to the limit. To maximize durability and improve clutch capacity in heavy-duty/performance vehicles, Sonnax offers Smart-Tech direct clutch drum and shaft kits, the first upgrade to eliminate every critical weakness. Most failures in these units occur where the direct drum and stub shaft connect. Even other aftermarket upgrades that rely on a heavy-duty shaft will sheer in this area under extreme conditions. Unlike two-piece assemblies, the all-in-one Smart-Tech easily handles the highest horsepower/torque levels. The unique one-piece clutch drum with integrated stub shaft is precision machined from high-strength steel to guarantee there are no splines to strip from the drum or weaken the shaft. The shaft itself is significantly thicker and 2 times stronger than the original. Due to its larger diameter, the integrated shaft must be used with the kit's custom, heavy-duty sun gear. Insufficient holding power is another area where many transmissions fall short, but installing thinner aftermarket steels and backing plates to increase clutch capacity isn't ideal. Those components increase clutch pack flex and heat build-up, making them the primary cause of repeat burn-up. To improve both performance and long-term reliability, the Smart-Tech's custom drum and piston hold an OE backing plate and seven OE frictions for 17 percent more clutch capacity than the six-friction stack-up. Sonnax Smart-Tech direct clutch drum and shaft kits feature: * One-piece design that eliminates weak point where drum splines strip and shafts break * Rugged shaft is 50 percent thicker and twice as strong as OE * Custom drum and piston deliver 17 percent more clutch capacity with optimum protection against burn-up * High-strength drum and shaft are precision-machined from hardened 8620 steel * Unique sun gear is precision-machined from 9310, heat-treated steel

Input housing failure at the shaft and forward piston areas is common in high-torque 4L60, 4L60-E, 4L65-E, and 4L70-E transmissions. Also, the input drum assembly is known to crack and strip out splines where the input shaft is pressed into it (where the overrun piston rides). Sonnax input housing sleeve kits—forward sleeve kits and overrun sleeve kits—when used in combination with each other, greatly increase the maximum strength of the housing for additional torque capacity and can prevent these failures. Sonnax input housing overrun and forward sleeve kits are offered separately. Both sleeves feature high-strength, chromoly construction that increases housing torque capacity by protecting the shaft and either the forward piston or overrun piston areas. Each kit will include piston, reinforcement sleeve, and outer and inner piston seal.

Sonnax pressure switch rebuild kits can help salvage your transmission electro-hydraulic control module (TEHCM), restore normal switch operation, eliminate codes, and provide renewed shift performance in all ranges. Some GM transmissions send various trouble codes related to internal fluid pressure failures to your TEHCM. These codes may be accompanied by torque converter clutch (TCC) apply problems or shift irregularities such as slipping, flares, harsh application, and bind-ups. Often, the cause is laminated portions of unobtainable OE pressure switches breaching, preventing normal switch operation. Avoid multiple breakdowns that can trigger failsafe mode and TEHCM replacement by ordering the Sonnax pressure switch rebuild kit recommended for your GM transmission.

Sonnax TCC regulator and isolator valve kits assist in recovering hydraulic control and renew TCC performance. Severe wear of the TCC (torque convertor clutch) regulator valve bore, caused by oscillation of the OE valve, allows the regulated converter to apply pressure to your exhaust. This is a primary cause for TCC-related slip code and overheated converters. Exhaust pressure also diminishes line pressure, which can result in burnt clutches. Excess wear at the isolator valve bore reduces TCC apply pressure. Reconditioning the bore and installing a Sonnax TCC regulator and isolator valve kit will restore normal TCC operation by reestablishing the hydraulic integrity of this circuit. Order the kit recommended for your transmission application. Features include: * Sleeve manufactured from highly wear-resistant aluminum * Hard-coat anodized aluminum regulator valve combats premature wear * Isolator valve lengthened to operate in unworn portions of the bore * Annular grooves help center valves in bore to reduce future side-load wear

Sonnax converter limit valve kits can help minimize the need for costly transmission repairs down the line. These kits help prevent torque converter damage by limiting the amount of pressure applied to it during lockup, essentially safeguarding against "ballooning" or deformation of the converter, especially in performance vehicles with high line pressures, while maintaining proper transmission function without affecting drivability. This is achieved by precisely controlling the pressure applied to the torque converter clutch (TCC) apply circuit through a specialized valve design. Most converter limit valve kits are designed as "drop-in" replacements, allowing for a relatively simple installation process during transmission rebuilds. Select the kit designed specifically for your vehicle's transmission type to ensure proper fit and function.

GM 6L45, 6L50, 6L80 and 6L90 automatic transmission units may exhibit multiple line pressure and cooler/converter/lube flow problems due to excess wear in the pressure regulator bore. Deterioration at the balance spool end allows critical fluid loss, resulting in high line pressure, harsh shifts, and overheating due to reduced cooler/converter flow. Wear at the outboard spool robs converter feed pressure and lowers line pressure, resulting in soft shifts and burnt clutches. Installing a Sonnax pressure regulator valve kit restores the hydraulic integrity of these circuits for proper line pressure control in all ranges. A new pressure regulator valve outer spring is also included to replace weakened original springs and provide a modest 5 psi increase across the pressure curve. Additional details: * Hardcoat anodized aluminum valve combats premature wear * Lengthened critical spools operate in non-worn portion of bore for added stability and wear prevention * Annular grooves help center valve in bore to reduce future side-load wear * Drop-in Zip Valve parts install quickly and easily Kit contents: * Valve * Spring * Drill bit .040 in. * 2 checkballs (1 extra)
