AODE, 4R70W Valve Body

The valve body of any automatic transmission is a vital component of the unit. It controls line pressure thus regulating when a unit shifts among other functions. Most rebuilds should include a valve body kit at the very least. Some kits are more extensive than others and some are more specialized. For example some valve body kits are designed for high performance or heavy duty applications.
