Clutch Valve – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The clutch solenoid valve (marked with ‘QPV’) is responsible for actuating the clutch in the Sportshift system. A faulty valve can cause problems with clutch engagement, such as shuddering, delayed and harsh engagement, or even a complete failure of clutch actuation. The part fits all Aston Martin Sportshift systems (I, II and III).
Pentosin CHF 11S
Pentosin CHF 11S is a synthetic high performance hydraulic fluid for life-time application in modern vehicle aggregates. Pentosin CHF 11S is especially designed for hydraulics in the automotive industry with the highest technical requirements such as in: power steering, level control, shock absorber, hydro-pneumatic suspension, stability and traction control, hydraulics for convertible tops, central lock systems, etc.
It is suitable for all extreme conditions and guarantees full performance from -40 Degree Celsius to over 130 Degree Celsius system temperature.
Pentosin CHF 11S meets DIN 51 524T3 and ISO 7308 specification standards.
Pressure Accumulator – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The pressure accumulator is responsible to store the pressure of the hydraulic system for later access by the actuators. This piston type accumulator has two cells: one cell storing the hydraulic fluid and one cell containing a Nitrogen gas filling which creates the counterpressure. Both cells are separated by a moving piston. Typical symptoms of a faulty pressure accumulator are frequent and short pump cycles. If there is no more preload pressure left in the accumulator, the pump runs every few seconds, which ultimately leads to a consequential damage of the pump motor. Along with the pump motor, a faulty pressure accumulator is one of the most common causes of pressure build-up issues and is one of the few wear parts in the system that should be regularly checked and replaced if necessary.
We offer a brand-new replacement accumulator. The part fits all Aston Martin Sportshift systems (I, II and III).
Pressure Sensor – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The pressure sensor is responsible to measure the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator of the Sportshift system. The part fits all Aston Martin Sportshift systems (I, II and III).
Pump Motor – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The pump motor drives the gear pump, which generates the pressure for the Sportshift transmission. Both parts together form the hydraulic pump. Without hydraulic pressure, the transmission cannot perform any action – neither change gears, nor operate the clutch. Therefore, the hydraulic pump is the most important component in the system.
In most cases, it is sufficient to replace only the electric motor, as this is a wearing part. The gear pump fails only very rarely. Another advantage is that when only the pump motor is changed, the hydraulic system does not need to be bled afterwards, unless it has been opened.
We sell an original, brand new Magneti Marelli spare part – the same part you would get from Aston Martin.
Selection Valve – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The selection solenoid valve (marked ‘OOV’) is responsible for moving the gear selector sideways to select gear pairs. If this two-way on/off valve fails, the car may be unable to engage one or more gears. Note: the product photo is for illustrative purposes only, the valve is supplied without the Magneti Marelli sticker. The part fits all Aston Martin Sportshift systems (I, II and III).
Service Kit Hydraulic Pump – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The service kit includes the plastic coupling, which connects the shaft of the gear pump with the shaft of the electric motor, as well as seals.
Shift Valve – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
The shift solenoid valves (marked with “PPV”) are responsible for changing the gears of the Sportshift system. There are two of these valves on the hydraulic unit. Together with the selection valve, they operate the shift actuator. If one of the valves is faulty, the car will refuse to go into one or more gears. The part fits all Aston Martin Sportshift systems (I, II and III).
Transmission Speed Sensor – Aston Martin Vantage Sportshift
This sensor provides the speed signal of the transmission input shaft. The speed signal is required by the control unit to control the transmission system, adjusting properly the shaft speeds before engaging and disengaging the different gears.
Upgraded Reservoir Feed/Return Pipes – Aston Martin Vantage ASM Sportshift I
The fluid reservoir feed and return pipes are a common problem of the Sportshift transmission. The original rubber pipes become porous and finally break up, causing the system to lose hydraulic oil. Our pipes are made of a much better and more durable material. The set includes the two pipes and four clips.
Upgraded Reservoir Feed/Return Pipes – Aston Martin Vantage ASM Sportshift II & III
The fluid reservoir feed and return pipes are a common problem of the Sportshift transmission. The original rubber pipes become porous and finally break up, causing the system to lose hydraulic oil. Our pipes are made of a much better and more durable material. The set includes the two pipes and four clips.
