valve body to pump shaft sleeve?

[jruppert]

I am in the process of rebuilding my ax4s. While I was installing some parts from my Superior shift correction package, I noticed that the bushing where the torque converter shaft inserts has some bad wear marks inside. Anyone know where I can get another part? It appears to be pressed into the valve body.

Sonnax.

How do you get ahold of them?

You have to buy through a distributor. I believe they have a locator on their website for that. Most independent tranny shops can get the parts for you.

If not, there's an online place that is escaping me at the moment that carries Sonnax.

EDIT: Found it, here's the link to the part: http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/AXOD_AXODE_AX4N_AX4S_Pump_Shaft_Sleeve_p/400-009620118.htm

hmm, This doesnt look like the part I am referring to. Although it is a sleeve. I will have to take another look at the worn part that I have.

Are you talking about the bearing?

I think he's talking about the pump bushing. (The piece the converter rides on inside the pump) Thanks for the link, greatly appreciated.

If your looking at the valve body itself, and you see the round bushing type piece in the middle. This is what I am referring to. There is a pump shaft that fits into this and extends into the pump.

Yeah apparently this is the part that I need to replace. Does anyone know how this comes out?
