Patent ID: 10724628

Abstract:
A method for modifying the hydraulic circuitry of factory installed 46RE, 47RE and 48 RE automotive transmissions internally re-routes the flow of hydraulic fluid within the valve body of the automotive transmission to improve the overall operation of these factory installed automotive transmissions, without adding or installing any external passageway structures to the valve body. The internal re-routing of the hydraulic flow within the valve body is accomplished by replacing the existing separator plate with one or more new cooperating separator plates, and by plugging portions of the existing hydraulic circuitry, to internally re-route the flow of hydraulic fluid within the valve body by blocking certain existing internal hydraulic circuitry and by creating new internal hydraulic circuitry for fluid flow within the valve body. The modified 46RE and 47RE transmissions exhibit improved operating characteristics, simulating the operation of a 48RE automotive transmission.
