What is a Valve Body anyway?

The transmission valve body is a component of an automatic transmission system that controls the flow of transmission fluid to valves and channels that adjust gear ratios. It's made of aluminum and contains passages that direct fluid through valves to control the clutches (auto), bands (cvt), and drums that change gears. The valve body also contains sensors that monitor the transmission's performance and send signals to the transmission control module (TCM), which adjusts the transmission's shifting patterns. 

A failing transmission valve body can cause these symptoms:

  • Harsh shifting 

  • Incorrect shifting 

  • Torque converter engagement issues 

  • An illuminated check engine light (P0700 & other codes)

  • Delayed shifts 

  • Gear slippage 

  • A burning smell

How do I prevent the valve body from failing?

Transmission fluid changes. Every 30,000 miles.
