PRODUCTS & PRESS SONNAX SERVO IMPROVES POWERGLIDE PERFORMANCE

a patent-pending hydraulic design that features an apply equal to the original Powerglide, but a larger release area just like modern servos. It’ s the latest groundbreaking new upgrade from a company that’ s built a reputation as a leader in performance transmission parts.
The Smart-Tech ratio-style servo is all-in-one kit with unrivaled quality built into every component. Packed with track-proven features, it sets the new standard for elite Powerglide racing:
The show-stopping upgrade Sonnax debuted at the Performance Racing Industry Show is ready to take your 2017 racing program to the next level. Engineered from the ground up to prevent every servo-related problem, the Sonnax Smart- Tech ® ratio-style servo advances the Powerglide transmission to new levels that back up extreme horsepower with never-before-seen reliability.
Band failures, broken shafts and staging issues have plagued the Powerglide for years. The root of the problem is the pin bias effect— flaws in the outdated servo design that modern servos like the C4, C6 and 4L60 completely avoid. Overcoming the pin bias effect is critical for improving the reliability of this capable transmission. The Sonnax Smart-Tech servo is the first to do so with
• Eliminates pin bias effect
• Supported servo design stops piston binding
• Significantly lighter spring prevents staging issues and backing up when trans brake is applied
• Delivers more total net apply force than any stock-sized servo
• Allows greater tuning of high clutch apply to prevent tire spin and pedaling after the shift
• Prevents input shaft failure due to tie-up on shift
• Ends need to calibrate servo return spring to line pressure or varying case depth
