Technical issues and repair guidelines
In many cases, the Low Hub one-way clutch gets out of order because of overloadings. It gets wedged and the sun gear breaks. High torque from 3-liter engine damages the rear drum of the 3-rd package (3rd Drum). The spring breaks, that causes damage to the entire unit. Specialists also replace piston, a thin spring holder, retaining ring. In addition a powerful engine damages rear bearings.EPC line pressure solenoids (which operate very intensively) get out of order because of ageing and overheating. Another soft spot of the valve body is the jar of accumulators, rubbing shafts with teflon rings that leads to the pressure loss.
