td6 transmission valve body

[TJK2002]

Does anyone know the differences between the Commodore and Rangie valve body's?
Have a good trans from an Adventura that ive been robbing parts for mine and would like
to swap it over :)

Should be interchangeable between 5l40e. Best ask Rhys at Furious Performance. He is a 5l40e guru.

Hi.... just posted in wrong section so I will try again :angel:
Is there a difference between Rangie and Commodore valve bodys?
As I have an Adventura box in good order that ive been robbing parts for mine
And would like to use said valve body :)

Tough question, you may have to track down a gm transmission specialist and ask them.

I don`t know , seems they physically fit but may not drive as desired .

The link gives plate numbers to application .

Seems the obvious difference between early and later is early has a larger black Holley solenoid and later has a smaller silver Bosch solenoid .

Ok :) have had them side by side when box was apart a few months ago physically look the same apart from the accumulators didn't do a number check :(
I'm actually using the Commodore accumulators at the moment seems to give a more firmer shift!
My reverse at moment is delayed and im hoping its the valve body :)

As Justin said, Rhys in the Guru on these boxes. I'll shift this thread to the L322 forum as well. :)

Oh, and just merged them as I didn't realise youd started again here. :)

How much of a delay? Wirse Worse hot or cold?

[TJK2002]

seems to be there all the time... hot or cold..
Am going to monitor it over the next few days,
This trans had burnt the reverse clutch at around 100thousand ks :mad:
pulled pan (never been opened) replaced oil (black & burnt) and filter drove for another 40k working not to bad till the front drive shaft stripped its splines :censored:
Has taken a while till I was in a position to put back together :)
Have replaced all clutch packs, seals & pressure control solenoid.
Clutch pistons all tested ok, all bearings and shims ok.
torque convertor when opened was just about to go metal to metal :o
replaced with HD unit 400 rpm lowered stall.
also installed Sonnex boost valve :)

I was leaning towards that, but he could be a classic BMW enthusiast or even a silly Jeep owner.

I admit I saw the pic with the number plate in a different thread too. ;)

I believe (happy to be corrected) the valve bores are slightly different tolerances (bigger bores) to allow for smoother shifting with the range rover box, which also helps in its shortening its lifespan. The trans specialist referred to it as "built in slop to smoothen operation".

I have driven an early L322 with a commodore valve block in it and it was noticeably harsher changing gear than the other few td6's I have driven. Might have just been a symptom of the Franken trans it had.

That being said the late 06 box I put in my 02 is a bit harsh as well.
