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).

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).

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).

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).
