With the addition of the Chrysler 2019 and later 68RFE valve body, confusion about checkballs has become even more frequent. In this article we will explore RFE series checkball locations and function in greater detail.

You can isolate the launch shudder in a 700 transmission in a similar manner. By placing the transmission into the “D” or “3” range, you are applying the overrun clutch. If the launch-shudder condition is not present when the transmission is in the “D” or “3” range but was present in the OD range, the input one-way clutch was not holding.

Front-wheel-drive Toyota transmissions historically have had a low roller clutch with a machined surface on one side (see Figure 3). The opposite side of this low roller clutch traditionally has had a raw-casting appearance (see Figure 4). The factory and ATSG manuals refer to loading the one-way clutch from the shiny (machined) side.

The Honda six-speed transmission has been on the bench of many specialty shops for one reason or another (figure 1). But, for those of you who have yet to lay your hands on one, mounted on the upper side of the unit is one of the largest, if not the largest solenoid and pressure switch

Other one-way-clutch problems occur when the cages that hold the springs and rollers start to wear. Figure 1 shows a new cage on the left and a worn-out cage on the right. The worn cage was in a 700 transmission. The customer complained that the vehicle had harsh forward engagements and that the 2-1 downshift felt as if you were being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer.

In 1999, ATSG’s Wayne Colonna gave his “X-Files” presentation. One important point of his presentation was how an input sprag can affect the 2-3 shift on G4A-EL and F4EAT transmissions. This fact later was reinforced by John Pifke’s “We Know It’s Not the Input Sprag” article in Transmission Digest, February 1999. This condition also can occur in other front- and rear-wheel-drive transmissions with the same power flows (e.g., 700, RE4RO1A). In all the transmissions with this type of power flow, you can isolate the 2-3 flare by shifting the transmission into either the “D” or “3” range. In some instances when a manual “D” or “3” range is not available, it may be necessary to depress the overdrive-cancel button. Both methods will engage the overrun clutch. If the 2-3 flare is not present when the overrun clutch is engaged, the input one-way clutch is not holding. The only exception to this rule is the JR403 transmission. Since the overrun solenoid in the JR403 is controlled in connection with the throttle-position sensor (TPS), the overrun clutch is applied only about 10% of the time that the overdrive-cancel button is depressed. For this reason, you may see an isolated good shift. To apply the overrun clutch on the JR403 transmission, find pin #21 on the control unit (usually behind the glove box). Cut the wire about 3-4 inches from the control unit. Cutting the wire to the overrun solenoid turns off the solenoid. When the solenoid is off, the overrun clutch is on. If the 2-3 flare is not present when the overrun clutch is on, the forward one-way clutch was not holding. Other one-way-clutch problems occur when the cages that hold the springs and rollers start to wear. Figure 1 shows a new cage on the left and a worn-out cage on the right. The worn cage was in a 700 transmission. The customer complained that the vehicle had harsh forward engagements and that the 2-1 downshift felt as if you were being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. The worn-out cage in Figure 2 was in a rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 518 transmission. This customer complained about an intermittent 3-4 flare. To check the amount of wear on the roller-clutch cage, install the cage into the housing without the inner race. Check the distance that the worn cage rotates and compare that with the rotation distance of a new cage. Front-wheel-drive Toyota transmissions historically have had a low roller clutch with a machined surface on one side (see Figure 3). The opposite side of this low roller clutch traditionally has had a raw-casting appearance (see Figure 4). The factory and ATSG manuals refer to loading the one-way clutch from the shiny (machined) side. On some of the late-model Toyota front-wheel-drive overdrive transmissions, the low roller clutch now is machined on both sides (two shiny sides). The old dogs of our industry will have to pay particular attention to this. Just because the shiny side is up does not mean that the sprag is installed properly. Hope this helps you with your one-way-clutch problems.

The 2014 Ford Edge SEL with a 3.5L engine (figure 1) and a 6F50 transmission can also be equipped with an AWD system. This would include a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) attached to the transmission with a rear driveshaft going to the Read Differential Unit (RDU). The RDU comprises a differential assembly along with a viscous coupling assembly controlled by an Active Torque Control (ATC) coupling solenoid. The system is designed to monitor vehicle conditions continuously and seamlessly adjust torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. When it is functioning correctly, there should be no perception of this taking place when launching or driving the vehicle.

The effectiveness in diagnosing automatic transmission malfunctions is an art form. Although there are similarities among the wide varieties of transmissions on the road, each transmission has its own peculiarities. Aside from having mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical hardware systems to contend with, software/programming issues and various vehicle platforms make diagnostics much more difficult.  Related Articles –

Early on, technicians realized that you could bypass a one-way clutch by engaging a clutch or band that holds the same member that the one-way clutch holds. You can easily isolate the one-way clutch in a rear-wheel-drive or three-speed front-wheel-drive Chrysler transmission by placing the transmission into the manual-low range. In the manual-low range the rear band is applied. The rear band now helps to hold the drum that previously was held by only the low roller clutch. If the vehicle moves in manual-low range but did not move in the other forward ranges, you know that the low roller clutch was not holding.

There was a time when the only fact that you had to know about a one-way clutch was the direction in which the clutch freewheeled. Today you also must be able to troubleshoot some difficult problems related to one-way clutches.

The 6T40 was introduced in 2008 for General Motors front-wheel-drive cars in the Chevrolet Malibu and has gone through several changes throughout its three generations, specifically in the pump area. The 6T40 is closely related to the more lightweight 6T30 and the heavier duty 6T45 and 6T50. Generation one started phasing out during the 2012

By now, most people in our industry are familiar with vacuum testing, a process used to locate and identify leaks in transmission valve and pump bodies. This procedure has been out for many years, and there have been hundreds of training classes to help with learning where and how to test valve bodies. It’s simplified

We all want to build a transmission that lives a long life, and we do our best to take the right steps to match the transmission build to the use of the vehicle it is going into. Sometimes we don’t know what kind of driving conditions this vehicle will go through and loads it will
