TRNW TECH TIP
OF THE MONTH!
How to make a pressure testing tool for a 45RFE / 545RFE / 68RFE!
RFE Homemade Tool (click to enlarge)
RFE Pressure Testing Made Easy!
Here is a photo of the PSI testing tool we made for the RFE units. It is just a 1/8 brass T and a brass nipple. You have to ream out the inside of the T for the solenoid and then cut a groove for an O ring on the nipple.
We also cut a slot in the end of the nipple so the oil can run around the end of the threads as it bottoms out in the case. Then to hold it in we just welded some bolts together. Its ugly but it works fine. Northland tools makes a pretty one. - more

The 1-2 shift valve in GM 4T60-E units is prone to wear and susceptible to side loading because it is made of raw uncoated aluminum, and a worn OE valve tends to stick when shifting from 1st to 2nd. The new Sonnax oversized 1-2 shift valve 84754-63 will correct these problems and outperform the OE valve. Annular grooves center the Sonnax valve and reduce sticking caused by side loading, while its contoured profile uses the force of the flowing ATF to help move the valve when a 1-2 shift is commanded.

 INTERACTIVE TECH TIPS & TECH DATA
TRNW has just introduced a new feature to their website
which allows technicians to add rebuilder tips, picture tips, and technical data for every transmission
model. Members can vote on each rebuilder tip or picture tip with the results determining the placement
of the tip. There is also an option for adding a comment to each rebuilder tip, and error control is built
into the whole package allowing members to delete any tip that they created.
Technical Data such as application charts, checkball locations, torque specifications, etc can now be added
to the website by the members, and rebuilder "cheat sheets" can be printed out for technicians to take to
the bench. A cheat sheet can be created, edited, and saved by each member by selecting from the list of
current rebuilder tips, picture tips, and technical data for the desired transmission. The output is formatted
nicely for printing.
