Rebuilding 55-50, 09G, TF80 and TF81 Linear Solenoids

The linear solenoids on the Aisin valve bodies control line pressure, shift pressure, shift/engagement feel and lockup control. A linear solenoid that is sticking can cause all sorts of problems depending on the solenoid and the transmission type. The linear solenoids need to be rebuilt as much as the valve bodies do on these transmissions. The pintles stick and the outer shell (can or shell) can become distorted or loose.
