Sonnax is a alloy type material, uses O-rings for more sealing around the boost valve.

TransGo is a steel / ferrous material , no O-rings.

Depending on how late model 4L60E you have the early design valves will not fit with out machine work.

In bone stock OE applications, I have received complaints of too firm of shifts with a larger boost valve in the pump. The "E" RWD trannys respond quickly to shift mods

Besides the material they are made of, are they both identical? Size wise?

Thanks
