Harsh shifts, just sticking solenoids , just clean as illustrated , you do not need to worry how they sound electrically never seen them going bad.

Ok will do. I ment to also say that after I replaced the fluid my reverse was fine but the drive took a while to engage that's why I decided to take it apart, my bands did torque down. I did find a good amount of play on the IM servor. But the replacement should help with that. Thanks for the reply.

@@arturoayala4752 the 1st band towards the front of the trans is 2nd and 5th, adjust that band only as per the spc's if any slipping from the servo 2/5 u should get 2nd gear ratio errors if not just adjust to spc;s , does change over time, clean the valvebody and solenoids.reset the PCM and clear codes even if non-present. Usually when you shift to drive is good but hash 2nd after cleaning the solenoid then your PCM is bad and need replacement , u find them on ebay common problem in thunderbird v6 and v6 lincolin ls but not in explorers.

@@arturoayala4752 u can not replace the servo 2/5 while installed , the pieces that hold the band will fall,

Let's hope not or I will have to drop the whole transmission. I took it out and cleaned both of them. I put it back in while the new 1 gets here. And I was pushing it in and out with the spring and seems fine nothing fell out. I didn't loosen up the bands I just took the servos out like that. The servos I ordered are the 1s with the O rings by Aj1E

in the valve body if one check ball got shrunk or oversized one installed will do that check if the 2 check balls in the body the same size , also if the neutral safety switch is bad beside the trans will lose reverse and drive sometimes as if the computer does not see it it won't engage, check both before u waste your time if all good then when u remove the valve body check the reverse band or reverse servo could be broken.

@@Transmission4less Thank you. I'll try to inspect and change the neutral safety switch. I have to do it myself as I can't afford mechanic cost. Is the neutral switch safety on the driver's side of the transmission just a little above the shift arm coming out of the transmission. I have a 2010 ford explorer XLT automatic transmission.

@@giridharg82 your transmission is 5r55w just google and will see lots of useful information to help u.

@@Transmission4less Thank you.

no, check speed sensor on the back u see 3 could be the 1st from back , scan it with DTC code scanner 1st

Yes I can scan it as soon as I get it back together. But, I hate to do that if it's going to have to come apart again. You know what a pain in the ass putting the fluid in is. I have the solenoid pack off. Anything else I could look for before I put it back together? I thought if the 1st gear solenoid is not working it can't shift out of first.

@@bhauk9626able just close it back and check the trans output speed sensor , either disconnected or broken wire, after u get it done if u remove the trans connector it should start in a high gear if does then with a scanner u can read the output speed sensor value to verify.

@Transmission4less sure appreciate that I'll let you know.

This trans has PCM combined , not separate TCM, check the fuses, check the obd2 connector and wires

use super glue will hold in place , if lost use any custom cut plastic or even a button of a shirt , it is meant to keep it clean from contamination, for the long run.

I agree with you, but I do not trust any super glue to hold plastic plugs in a transmission. I will be back in there in 30K and change filter and clean the solenoid ports again as needed.

let me check will get back to u tomorrow

@Transmission4less Thank You. That would be much appreciated !!

@@Transmission4less Hi. Did you manage to have a chance to have a look ? Cheers Andrew

@@DieselBakedBean tomorrow ill let u know thanks

2012 vesa has 2 types of VB , one closed solenoid canisters like the ones u see in sentra and one open side solenoid canister like versa 2013 and up, even the dealer may sell the wrong one, you need to match the original 1st , let me know as I believe you installed the wrong one to have that problem you described, when the TCM can not pickup the calibration from the ROM module. do not force it may jump forward and break the cvt belt. Switch with the right VB.

@@Transmission4less Thanks a lot sir and you were absolutely right. It had the wrong valve body which were closed type solenoid but the original have the open style solenoid. I replaced it with right one and its moving forward and backward but look like its stuck on lower gear and doesn’t go into higher ones. After a restart it goes to hight gear very slowly and after running a while it shows P0965 pressure control solenoid b code and went into limp mode. When i restart again it runs again in the low gear with high Rpm .Is this an issue with the new valve body or I have to erase the code and do manual auxiliary clutch point relearning using the procedure you described? I also did control valve change procedure successfully with my autel scanner and it was completed but clutch point relearning using scanner doesn’t work

@@sakian2 air test the back pulley under the vb , remove the vb 1st if good then also clean the vb n dip the solenoids in ultrasonic cleaner , do not mix them mark them up 1st, let me know. But before that delete the calibration from the tcm with a scanner then will pickup by itself the newer vb.

@@Transmission4less Thanks a lot Sir. I have cleaned the old valve body and put it back again and it started working. Car is driving good and gears are changing. Thank you very very much for all of your support. Now i only have one issue that it have the humming noise when changing to gears look like oil pressure pump noise. Are there any way to solve this? Thanks again for your help. May Allah bless you

Remove the connector move the shifter to R if to move back fine then mechanically still good, remove the solenoid back again inspect the gasket low torque causes cross leak , over torque may break the rubber plastic gasket making you go such concerns. re-do it again

czcams.com/video/y_OXCUi2CKQ/video.html

it a rubber , try by hand with fingers push the rubber will peal out, then use a tooth brush to clean the board. Will take about 30 minutes.

The shift solenoids not common to go bad and will hear clicking when applying voltage to them but not the large 3 pressure solenoids, better dip it in ultrasound cleaner for 3 hours on low temperature with the back round caps open to clean it then repair as shown. You can measure the resistance of each to make sure none of the copper tracks were broken . www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/evaluating-5r55s-w-to-6r60-upgrade.436041/

@@Transmission4less thank you Salim!

@@jrm163 very welcome

we do it for $300 also with updated molded rubber gasket. if u have transmission codes then it is too late but harsh shifts will be fixed.

EPC circuit fault pressure control solenoid A

@@markwheelous3253 when the computer can not measure the magnetic field inside the solenoid will give such code, also in most cases the connector that goes to the solenoid pack gets corroded resulting with a broken pin as it seems is ur case which is a very common i see in such SUVs in heavy snow areas, in such case u need a repair kit plus a solenoid pack , as long as u do NOT have gear ratio codes then ur trans mechanically still fine. www.ebay.com/itm/363641957721?chn

@@Transmission4less thanks man

all re-soldered as u can see.,

@@Transmission4less Thanks for all this help I really appreciate it. So i just got all the rubber off and i Just want to make sure before I diver in. Did you add solder or just heat back up the original solder

@@bmwbeers5708 you need to add only to the surface mount resistors, the rest just reheat them

Can you have a solenoid pack issue without a code? > yes but the computer shall report the slippage codes if any , the computer did not see it, that is NOT possible, if 5r55n then low oil or broken spring in valvebody if 5r55w then stuck boost valve in pump , , what is the mileage and what vehicle you are working on. if no movement when cold could spun turbine shaft bushing in pump stater. before you do anything get a scanner to read the PRNDL switch data , this switch may cause it not to move if commanded by the computer for not knowing what position you are in. that switch wont give codes but may cause related concerns you mentioned. you can find it on amazon for $30.

Salim Safran good day and thanks for your reply. I have had it hooked to a high end scanner as my cousin owns a garage. There’s not a single transmission code which amazes him. The transmission can work perfect one day and then act up the next. I don’t have issues when it’s cold. The flare up will typically happen when travelling at 30-40 mph and giving the car gas. Sometimes if I slack the gas I can get the gear to engage but other times it acts as if I’m neutral and then I can only get it to move by putting it in 3rd. If I go on the highway when this happens and shift to drive then it will start working perfect again with no issues on the highway. The car is a 2006 Mustang GT. It has 5r55s. I am the original owner. It has 95,000 miles and it is in great shape. It’s not winter driven or even driven in the rain.

Salim Safran I should also point out that this car had the transmission separator plate replaced twice under warranty. The reason: there was a rattling noise on cold starts that lasted maybe 10-20 seconds. It sounded similar to an exhaust heat shield rattle. Do you know the purpose of this plate and what it bolts to? I wonder if there’s some pinched wire from when that warranty work was done. It was completed in years 2008 and 2009.

@@newfie-dean5803 what vehicle , PRNDL switch as i said may cause your concern , check the digital status of the pins on the scanner ,

Salim Safran good day, it’s a 2006 Mustang GT, not sure if you read that message above. I think it’s something other than this switch. If the car is cold started I don’t have any problem and sometimes I can drive it with no issues at all. I have come across some posts of cars with similar issues that were servo bore related but it seems these people all had codes for their problems. I have not had a single code yet.

@@Transmission4less I have to change a new solenoid pack but fix the problem!

on the valve body small plastic black box , called ROM module that keeps the calibration data for it's valve body , maxisys needed only when replacing the valve body so u can rest the calibration data in the TCM to the new ROM of the new installed valvebody. flaring with jf015e associated with partially clogged air filter, also accumulated fine shaving inside the solenoids, in order for this trans to double it's life u need to dip the valvebody as a unit in ultrasonic cleaner for 4 hours every 50K miles , also replace the paper filter inside housing in a cup at the back of the trans, the only way to tell if it is too late is to remove the trans oil pan and look for shavings then yes too late even if it is very minimal. if yours from Nissan u still under warranty.

@@Transmission4less I appreciate the help! The vehicle is a 2012 Versa with 58k miles so unfortunately, it is out of warranty. Here are photos of the air filter, it does not look clogged but part of the lining is torn: imgur.com/a/O57oqBo do you think that could be causing it? I've already pulled the pan, cleaned the magnets, replaced the aux paper filter that is inside the cup housing held on by 1 bolt, and added new fluid. The flare/slip was present before and after I completed that service. Most valve body shops say replacing the JF015E valve body will fix slipping/flare but I don't have the maxisys ms906 to program/calibrate the replacement so I would want to be sure that replacing the valve body would fix the problem before purchasing the tool and replacement valve body. What do you think?

@@ryanwolf8441 air filter is really a nightmare for jf015e when the MAF fails to perform within the correct performance, most people can not tell when slipping and when flaring till it is really too late . , causing the belt to slip and causing flaring, eventually the belt can not sustain constant grip on the pulleys. if found any very very minimal shavings in the oil pan then yes nothing u can do to fix, usually i open the solenoids and clean them also ream the primary pressure valve inside the valve body but in your case no need for all that, if u need to rebuild it just send me your valve body and cover the shipping and will rebuild it for you for $200 , but for the sake of testing in your case dipping the valve body as a unit in ultrasonic cleaner for 4 hours shall clean the solenoids and make a difference if non then the belt is already damaged. if u keep the same ROM module no need for any scanner. btw that amount of dust on the filter affects the trans and yes your filter must be replaced, that is how sensitive this filter to the performance of the engine and transmission.

any maxisys can do it even the basic one for $500 or less on amazon or ebay , if you wana play with the TCM calibration " uploading the new ROM data to the TCM" and angle reset and idle volume adaptation.

@@Transmission4less When I pulled the pan off the 2012 Versa there were shavings on the magnets..... But I just did a fluid and filter change on my brothers 2018 Mirage G4 28k miles with the same JF015E transmission, it had the same amount of shavings on the magnets and before/after the service, there are no issues with shifting. On the Versa first I'll replace the air filter, just in case. Then I think I'll pull the valve body and soak it in ultrasonic cleaner as you recommended. Which ultrasonic cleaner do you use? And if those things don't work do you think a valve body rebuild will help or will it need a whole transmission? If I wasn't hundreds of miles away in VA I'd bring the vehicle to you. Thank you Salim!!

many transmission parts stores they have them also lots in ebay also reman good parts from china

it is 12v pwm signal , check this link www.autonerdz.com/yabbfiles/Attachments/Solenoid_Testing2006_09_22.pdf

what you meant with the circuit part ?.

@@Transmission4less the black plastic area with the copper in it

@@02DDP rarely but yes have seen broken trace maybe one in a thousand just solder it.

@@Transmission4less ok thanks

i use super glue does stick for years if you apply then keep the caps pressed till dries out in 10 seconds , the idea here just clean the bushings from the dirt accumulated over years, you can use any small drill bit to scrape it out from inside, once cleaned no need for further checking, just assemble it back, under each bushing there is a small spring make sure it does not go out form place. each bushing has it's own measurement , register each before removal and put them back accordingly. btw i do believe in miracles, fairy tails and much more.

قومٌ إذا مسّ النِعالُ وجوههم شكتِ النعالُ بأي ذنبٍ تُصفع

the size of the shaft to test is not really needed, just use any drill bit to clean the buildup dirt inside and that should be it, the drill bit will scrub the dirt and as long as nothing left inside then the job is done right. yes that will fix delay reverse then harsh shift.

Ok I understand now Thanks so much for the response and the video !!

the idea is the same yes. clean the set screws.

whatever suits you, I see them also sold on ebay with lifetime warranty, after doing exactly what I mentioned, the missing part here is the perfectionist not all can do the same job to check the readings and clean it and put it back but the success rate i see and based on hundreds of jobs I do in my shop over years and the results are outstanding, in few weeks I am coming with a very cheap calibration electronics to make sure all can perfect the repair without having to buy 10K calibration machine. the whole idea here is to help people not just for free but even in many cases I had to pay to even help them, regards

Is it possible to recalibrate 2004-up pack (3d gen) to 02-03 calibrations without expensive equipment? I have them both (old 03 and new 04+), with the new pack car shifts less comfort with old (after cleanup). Want to recalibrate but I can't directly measure 03 and make the same depth on 04 because of different cases.

Is there a definitive way to tell if it is the solenoid pack that's the issue without taking everything apart first?? I have a Lincoln LS thats not accelerating well, and not shifting until like 4000 RPM, and when it shifts it will shift hard...:/

I have a question... I pulled solonoid pack, to clean the connector since it's in a mustang where there is virtually no space... now it has no reverse and the band squeal. I shut it off so it only ran for 1 minute maybe less like that. What did I do wrong? Gasket? Air bubbles?

contact the shop form mail of www.transmissions4less.com or call us. regards

just measure the depth first for each, remember that each is different, the same way and exact position u measure it from is the same you shall use to measure again put it back, you can use thread locker and super glue.

super glue was the perfect choice.

you can drill that pin with thin drill bit and fabricate one, it is a process but here you can buy bad used ones for $15 or you can just go to any transmission shop close to you and get one and fix it. not many know how to fix it yet.

suitable drill bit just enough to go inside so scrape the sludge buildup material, there are many fluids for the ultrasonic cleaner it depends the power and heat you use , consult the manufacturer.

yes

what glue do you use to put it back together?

this is the second transmission that has been in it, the original went out before i got it this one has less than 25k miles on it

lel hoping for the latter
