Used Transmission Valve Body Fault Diagnosis How to Quickly Identify Faults

When working with second hand transmission valve bodies, it is very important to know how to locate a problem promptly. These valve bodies direct the flow of transmission fluid, and if they are not working properly, the entire transmission can suffer. At Fengshunhua, we understand this well as we have worked with many automatic transmission valve body over the years. 

What Are The Problems With Used Transmission Valve Bodies And My Troubleshooting Suggestions? 

There, workers at Fengshunhua rely on hands-on feel and visual frequency checks with a powerful flashlight to roust out tiny cracks or worn components. Other times, physically tapping on the valve spring compressor body and listening for strange noises can reveal a stuck valve. In addition, testing hydraulic pressure at certain locations can indicate if the fluid is flowing properly. 

What Equipment is Necessary to Properly Identify a Pre-owned Valve Body? 

The right tools are key to doing a good job monitoring for faults. It is not enough just to see the valve body. We rely on a couple tools at Fengshunhua that really make a lot of difference. The first is that by having a good quality borescope, we can peer into these tiny passages without tearing the entire auto transmission valve body apart. This little camera gives you live images, which can help you detect clogs or damage inside. 

Diagnosing Used Transmission Valve Body Problems and Rebuilding Them Quickly

One of the things that fail in a car transmission is the valve body. At Fengshunhua, we understand how crucial it is to find these issues quickly.

How to Check Second Hand Transmission Valve Bodies for Good Quality and Defects? 

It can be cost efficient to buy a used transmission valve body, but thorough inspection is absolutely essential. At Fengshunhua, we walk through a specific process for assessing used valve bodies to ensure they operate properly and won’t present issues in the future. First, we examine the outside of the valve body for any cracks, dents, or indications of damage. Small cracks can make for leaks and lousy performance.
