Re: Replace valve body on A541?
I am among those who do not like the idea of a power flush. IMO
periodic replacement of the strainer atf fluid and wiping clean the pan
is the best maintenance for the tranny aside from not horsing a tranny
known for sluggish line pressure that cause soft shifts and accelerated
clutch/brake band wear.
If spraying compressed air can't rid the metal shavings from the pan,
why do dealers suggest their flush machine can get them out of the
system and from the magnets?
Like others said, the power flush probably got some shavings/particles
somewhere they don't belong. The most likely places are the valve body
pistons and shift solenods, but we can only provide a guess here.
Replacement with a rebuilt valve body will work only if you dont' have
other problems with the tranny. But a main line pressure test may be
able to tell you a few things.
