Ford 10R140 transmissions utilize a set of two latch valves. The spring stem of the valve and the exhaust gap in the retaining clip make contact with one another and causing raised edges, burrs, and other damage on the stem. This valve damage can lead to spring entanglement, improper stroking of the valve and potentially bore wear, which can result in failures and burnt clutches.
Prevent future stem and spring damage with Sonnax latch valve stem repair kit 105740-50K. This kit includes a steel sleeve for the shortened OE valve to operate in, along with a new spring. The steel stem insert provides a cost-effective alternative to drop-in or oversized valve kits. Designed for fast, easy installation, this kit restores OE function and guards against future wear.
