Hopefully there’ll be some new faces,
as fewer young techs have been finding
their way into this industry.

OEM Heavy Duty Replacement
Governor Pressure Solenoid fits
Dodge/Jeep 42/44/46/47/48 RE transmissions

We’re stable under pressure.

BorgWarner’s new Governor Pressure Solenoid will not flood
out at increased line pressures and can be used in modified and
high performance transmissions as well as stock units. It delivers
all the benefit of much more expensive aftermarket solenoid
adapter kits for just the price of a solenoid, and with better
reliability and no extra parts to change out.
The extra size gives you more magnet force, more spool
valve force, 15% more flow capacity than the OE brand,
all of which adds up to a wide safety margin of stable pressure to
ensure reliable shifting under all conditions.
Call your authorized distributor today and ask for genuine OEM
quality solenoids from the global leader in automatic transmission
technology...BorgWarner Inc.

BorgWarner carries a full line of OEM quality

clutch plates, transmission bands, one-way clutches, BorgWarner Inc. Transmission Systems
and electronic transmission solenoids that are 100% 1350 N. Greenbriar Dr. Unit B Addison, IL 60101 (630) 261-9980
