AW55-50SN
Line Pressure Solenoid (SLT)
Solenoid Duties:
Reverse and forward engagement feel
Overall line pressure
This solenoid not only works against the pressure regulator valves for line pressure
control, but also works the C-1 control valve for forward engagements, the B-1 valve
for 1-2/2-1 shifts and the B-4 valve for 2-3 shifts.
SLT Adjustments in the Vehicle:
Proper SLT adjustments are performed with a 0-100 psi gauge on the SLT pressure
tap
Pressure readings are to be taken while the transmission is in the D position 0-6 psi
at idle; 75-80 psi at WOT
Pressure is increased by turning the adjustment screw in (clockwise)
Pressure is decreased by turning the adjustment screw out (counterclockwise)
If pressure is too high:

- Harsh engagements, especially into D

- Harsh upshifts

- Harsh downshifts

- 2-3 bind
If pressure is too low:
- Delayed engagements, especially N-D
- 2-3 flair
- Soft upshifts
Note: Proper band adjustment is crucial to 2-3 shift feel confirm band adjustment
prior to adjusting the solenoid.
CAUTION: Solenoid adjustments should never exceed 2 turns in or out.
