TF-80/81SC, TF-60SN: Omplaint

The document summarizes an issue with Aisin AW TF-80/81SC and TF-60SN transmissions where bore wear at the torque converter clutch (TCC) control valve and/or sleeve results in loss of TCC control. This can cause harsh downshifts and RPM surging due to the TCC remaining applied or becoming uncontrolled. The recommended correction is to ream the valve bore and install Sonnax's improved lockup clutch control valve kit, which restores proper TCC control and eliminates shift/RPM issues. The kit features a highly wear-resistant sleeve, hard-coat anodized valves for minimal leakage, and a spring that maintains proper operating pressures.
