Hello everyone,

I need some help getting some parts for the valve body for a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. Called the dealer and they don't sell valve body parts. Just the entire Valve Body.

A bit of background. I had the pig for several years and its been great since last year when the shifting started to become really hard. It started with 2 and 3 gear shift. I changed fluid and still had problems. Then really hard shifting between 1 and 2. It shifts so hard that it feels like I got rear ended by truck. Searching several forums pointed to the valve body. The day I decided to work on it, it went to limp mode and stuck in 3rd gear will all the lights on the dash on "PRND".

I got it down to a friends shop and able to pull the unit out. Really messy job. I had a hard time with one of the electrical connections so I just unbolted the bracket it was attached to and lit it hang. When I removing the bolts I just started to let them drop in the catch pan below because of all the fluid dripping out.

When I disposed of the old fluid I collected all of the bolts I removed. I did find a Pin in the bunch of bolts collected. I initially thought it was from a different job but as I was cleaning out the valve body I noticed that one of the solenoids on the side of the unit had a pin holding it place. It was shorter than the one I found but there was a pin there. I looked at the other main solenoids and noticed they easily moved when rotated. I think there are supposed to be pins holding them in place.

I called the guys over at RevMax and sent out my valve body for a rebuild. I waited until I got confirmation that it was delivered to ask about that pin I found. I called today and it was confirmed. I missing 4 pins! Looks like someone was in there before. I also saw a a partially stripped bold on the valve body.

Anyone know where I can get Valve Body parts? I called the dealer and they only sell the whole Valve Body and no parts. I don't want to buy a used one as well just for the missing pins.

Any ideas? Thanks for reading.
