Have there been times when a Dodge truck comes to your shop with no forward or reverse movement? If so, that problem could be caused by the boost valve spring retaining clip found in the valve body.
“This little clip is made from stamped steel and has a weak point in the bends,” says Craig Leuck, JASPER Transmission Division Manager. “Over time, the clip will break at one of the weak points. This allows the boost valve to move out of the valve body, losing all line pressure to the transmission.”
JASPER installs a thicker boost valve spring retaining clip in all Dodge valve bodies to compensate for the weak points found in the original clip.
