Symptoms:
- No lockup
- Falls out of lockup when hot
- Fluid blown out fill tube
- Lockup immediately after 2nd gear
- Code 1870
Cause:
Excessive pump bore-to-valve clearance allows TCC signal oil to leak past the spool, preventing lockup or causing lockup to disengage when hot. Additionally, converter feed can leak past the excessive clearance, combine with signal oil and cause premature lockup.
Correction:
These improved TCC apply valves with PTFE seals will eliminate bore cross leakage.
