Steel Governor Valve
Steel Governor Valve
Has anyone used the steel upgraded governor valve in their transmission? I was trying to locate the upgraded aluminum Sonnax Valve with a wideer seat area, but no one (and I do mean NO ONE) stocks it or can get it. My only concern with the steel valve is that it may change the shift points. Maybe I could adjust the TV cable to compensate for that?
Talking about this?

12GBP. All Dodge RWD Governor Bore Plug Kit. Wear in the valve body casting at the large diameter of either the 1-2 or 2-3 governor plugs causes governor oil pressure to leak past the shift valve governor plugs. Governor oil leaving the solenoid reacts on the 1-2 and 2-3 bore plugs, which sequentially stroke the shift valves. These bore plugs stroke relative to an opposing spring and variable throttle pressure. Bore wear creates a loss of governor pressure, which affects shift timing. Due to this wear, shift timing changes with operating temperature and often causes a shuttle or late shift. When this leak is combined with a governor solenoid and transducer feedback, they are often too slow to compensate for this oil loss. The throttle circuit is also prone to wear and has TV pressure variation from cross leaks, which then affect shift timing. These cross leaks often come from the 1-2 accumulator piston seals, throttle control valve, TV checkball and / or a distorted valve body. Cost $45.00
Yup, I've used them. I put one in the trans I'm running now and then took the torque converter and valvebody I was running in the other one and put them in that trans and I didn't have any difference in shift points. The trans I took out stuck the governor once on me, that one also has a steel governor valve now too.
Cool, that's what I was wondering.
BC, it's this one:

BC, it's this one:
#518G. 518 No-stick Steel Series Governor Valve. Cost $18.00
Works on A518 1989-1995 RH units.
Designed to replace the commonly mushroomed out aluminum OE valve which is the leading cause for a sticking governor problem.
