Valve Body Testing – Faversham

The valve body is the heart of an automatic gearbox, controlling hydraulic pressure and gear changes.

The Gearbox Centre Kent in Faversham offers specialist valve body testing, available exclusively at our Faversham site, for drivers across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Middlesex.

Using advanced testing benches, we assess solenoid performance, hydraulic pressure routes, spool movement, internal leakage, and electronic signal integrity.  This highly detailed process enables us to detect issues that general garages typically cannot diagnose – such as sticky valves, worn channels, cross-leaks, or malfunctioning solenoids.

Once testing is complete, we provide clear, actionable results so you understand whether the valve body requires repair, refurbishment, or replacement.  Accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary gearbox removal and saves customers considerable time and cost.

If your gearbox is experiencing harsh gear changes, slipping, delayed engagement, or intermittent limp-mode, The Gearbox Centre Kent’s valve body testing service offers the precision your transmission needs.
