2006-2008 TF-80SC Automatic Transmission Valve Body Issue & Serial Number Info

Oh man... Mine starts with 06A on my 2006. I dont have any hard shifts but I do have a light jolt right before coming to a stop. After I flushed the fluid it calmed down more tho. CaR manufacture date is 3.16.2006

that's just masking the problem.

Exactly the point. I would like to get as much as I can out of this valve body before it really starts to mess up

Can the valve body issue cause damage to the transmission or any other component over time, or is it pretty much a benign issue that just affects how the car drives?

I wouldn't think... I am absolutely no transmission expert but valve body issues can come by crap gumming up on the valve ways and restricts fluid flow. Unless something comes loose, clutch packs and such shouldnt be affected

Yea the actual action of the hard shifts and slams would take its toll, didn't think about that lol

I could confirm my 06A is def a faulty unit. Been getting sporratic 1-2 shift flares and a transmission lock code on vida. I think the time is coming for my trans soon

If you're going to have Drennen do it, see if they'd offer you and I a group discount for doing two of the same job. I've been kicking the idea around of finally fixing mine.

Lol yeah Ill see what he says, he is really the only person Id trust to do the job. He almost bought an 07 parts caR a few months ago but was nervous he couldnt part it fully. I told him of he sees another that the trans out of it is going to be pulled for sure. Im hoping to get as much time as possible

Yea it's supposed to be dry in there.

"first time it did it to me i knew that the engineer at Asin that could not figure out proper oil level is an imbecile"
