This solenoid pack is comprised of electromagnetic  solenoids. The integrity of these solenoids is imperative, as the flow  rate and spray pattern could affect shift quality and clutch life. When  failure occurs within the unit, it is not uncommon that the same  particles and sediments you find in the bottom of the pan are also in  the solenoids. This contamination of the solenoids can and will affect  the fluid delivery to critical circuits within the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this SunCoast 4R100 rebuild, kit we replace the solenoid pack with  a new one to ensure consistent shifts and long clutch life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Bushing Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs with any standard rebuild, this 4R100 rebuild kit also includes a  new bushing kit, which also includes a new front pump bushing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate Band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis SunCoast Category 4R100 Rebuild Kit also includes a new carbon  fiber band.
