Anatomy of a Transmission: Oil Flow in the Pump-PR-Converter-Cooler Lube Circuits
Gregg Nader
Sticking of bypass components, spring relaxation or poor ball seat in Ford 4R100 and E4OD units will allow the bypass to open at lower cracking pressure. This reduces TCC apply pressure, cooler flow at the overdrive section and radiator flow responsible for heat transfer. Sonnax cooler bypass valve kit 36605-02K allows the bypass valve assembly to be rebuilt, salvaging the OE fittings, and maintains cracking pressure at 70-75 psi.
