Valve Body Channel Plate, Billet

The Goerend 68RFE channel plate features an exhaust hole that drains oil from the rear of the pressure regulator (PR) valve, similar to the dump valve design used in our 47RE/48RE valve bodies. Depending on the vehicle's calibration, this exhaust hole must either remain open or be plugged.

 

The exhaust hole must remain OPEN when using 2019–2024 tuneless kit applications or any aftermarket tuning that commands 220–225 PSI line pressure. The exhaust hole must be PLUGGED with screw installed when using stock or near-stock tuning.

 

Some aftermarket tuning may require installation of a mechanical pressure gauge to verify that the calibration is actually commanding 220–225 PSI.

 

When using higher-pressure calibrations, a modified spacer plate is also required to properly feed the circuit. The Goerend spacer plate is already pre-modified, eliminating the need for any additional spacer plate modifications.

 

When the Goerend channel plate is paired with the Goerend spacer plate, the spacer plate blocks feed oil to this circuit. As a result, even if the plug is removed, there is no feed oil available to exhaust unless the separator plate is configured for the higher-pressure applications listed above.

 

Following these guidelines ensures the pressure regulator circuit functions correctly and allows the transmission to achieve the intended line pressure for your specific calibration.
