Increase fluid flow to the transmission cooler and add another measure of protection.
This easy-to-install PPE Transmission Fluid Thermal Bypass Valve is made from billet aluminum for the GM 6L80 6-Speed transmission.
The stock part has internal passages that are restrictive.
When the stock valve fails in the closed position, your cooler does not receive transmission fluid.
Mechanical failure or debris can cause this issue.
The failure of the stock valve can lead to dangerous overheating of the transmission.
Without properly cooled transmission fluid, the life of transmission components can be shortened by the demands of towing and rigorous stop-and-go driving conditions.
The PPE Bypass Valve eliminates the factory valve, which is extremely restrictive, maximizing fluid flow to and from the transmission cooler.
A service plug equipped with a Neodymium magnet and O-ring seal has been added for further protection.
The removable plug traps ferrous debris and can be accessed to remove particles from the system.
This feature is not present in the factory bypass valve.
