09D Shift Kit 2002, new and ready to install. Fits the 09D. Ships fast from the USA.
If your VW Touareg or Porsche Cayenne flares on the 4-5 upshift once it is warm, bangs on a 6-5 or 6-4 kickdown, or thumps on the 6-5 and 5-4 coast downshifts, the 09D valve body is the usual suspect, and a replacement unit is a big bill. This listing is the TransGo SK 09D for the 09D / Aisin TR-60SN from its 2002 introduction onward, the kit transmission shops use to repair the original valve body instead of replacing it.
The 09D is the rear-drive, higher-torque relative of the front-drive 09G / TF-60SN, and it uses the same clutch elements. K1 is applied in first through fourth, K2 in fourth through sixth, K3 in third, fifth and reverse, and the B1 brake in second and sixth. Each of those is fed by its own linear solenoid, and every solenoid draws on a regulated supply. When the regulator valves and the solenoid bushings wear, apply pressure becomes unstable, mostly when the fluid is hot. TransGo's kit replaces the pressure regulator boost bushing and valve, both solenoid regulator valves, and the TCC boost bushing and valve, and supplies the tools and caps to rebuild the six linear solenoids.
Note when the complaint happens. TransGo's instructions make a useful point: if the problem is hot only and it is one of the 4-5 flare, kickdown bang or coast bang complaints above, the main valve body repairs on page 4 of their instructions usually fix it on their own. If the shift is soft in every gear cold and hot, or the fluid is dark and smells burnt, suspect worn clutches first. Our flare versus slip guide explains how to tell a hydraulic flare from a slipping pack, and the TCC shudder guide covers lockup complaints that are not always the valve body.
TransGo lists the SK 09D for the 09D / AW TR-60SN six-speed from 2002 on, specifically the 2003-2007 Porsche Cayenne and 2004-2007 VW Touareg, and only for units with a 1.100 inch solenoid can outside diameter. Measure one of your linear solenoid cans before ordering. Later 09D applications, including the Audi Q7, may have running changes, so check the can size or send us your year and VIN before you buy. Other parts for this unit are on our Aisin parts page, and the same TransGo kit is also listed without a year as our 09D shift kit.
Start by marking every solenoid to its location, since each one must return to its original bore. Check each linear solenoid for 5 to 7 ohms between the pins and an open circuit to the body; any that fail are replaced, ideally from a matched 09D solenoid kit. The good ones are rebuilt: crimp ground off, bushings sized with the long or short drill depending on the shaft measurement, and a new end cap seated with red thread locker. Separator plate holes are then enlarged as the instructions direct. Check-ball locations vary by model, so put them back exactly as found. Install a new 09D filter and pan gasket kit, refill with the VW-specified ATF, set the level by the factory temperature-based check, then clear the adaptations and road test through all six gears. If the unit already has high mileage and clutch wear, pair the kit with a 09D overhaul kit during a full rebuild.

TransGo lists the SK 09D for the 2004-2007 Touareg and 2003-2007 Cayenne with the 09D / TR-60SN, provided the linear solenoid cans measure 1.100 inch outside diameter. Measure one before ordering or send us your VIN.
No. The 09D is the rear-drive version of the 09G, and the two valve bodies mostly do not share parts. Use the SK 09D for a 09D and the SK 09G for a 09G.
TransGo notes that for hot-only 4-5 flare, kickdown bang or coast bang complaints, the main valve body repairs in their instructions usually cure it. Doing the full kit is still the better long-term fix.
Any linear solenoid that fails the 5 to 7 ohm test, plus a new filter and pan gasket. If the clutches are worn, install the kit as part of an overhaul rather than on its own.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptations with a VW or Porsche capable scan tool after the install, then drive through every gear so the control unit relearns clutch fill times.
