Hello sir,my rpm sometimes go wild while driving, sometimes reverse is not working but after I switched off the car and restarting it again after few minutes it will run again smoothly and all the shifts works fine. Is cleaning the solenoid helpful? Because the problem comes back repeatedly. Thank you and hoping for your cordial reply.
I change my solenoid block pack kit and he does it the wrench and check engine light still doesn’t go away and the car is still driving slow even though I put a transmission with 60,000 miles in it. I basically change the transmission from the old one to a much newer one car after changing the solenoid block pack he doesn’t just takeoff the way a car normally takes off kind of stay stuck on one gear do you know what this could be?
I have a 07 ford sport track with a 5r55s trans it had a hard shift so I replaced it with the updated servos now it won't shift out of 1st. I tried to do a manual tcm reset but I couldn't find good Instructions I don't know if it's that or if something went bad. I did alot or studying and talking to people thats why i leaned to the servos, it is a common problem with that trans. . help?
Very possible the band is broken, if you drive and get it up to 20-25 mph and release the gas see if it will shift into 3rd gear. Just to confirm, no dipstick?
I did take the solenoids off to test them. I'm wondering if it might be because I didn't replace the gasket. It was a thick plastic one with rubber so I thought it would be okay. But now I seen a video where the solenoid mounts the aluminum gets warped
Look this is the code P0795 pressure control selenoid and its for a Ford Mustang 4.0 f a buy the all block transmission selenoids will fix my problem if a put a new one or I have to fix something else
Yea e shift the first and second and then the rpm go to high and the third one got stock and sometimes take a few seconds to take the gear on reverse and forward bt most of the time on the reverse and I take it to autozone and the was that one and suposible them ir the control pressure solenoid c
I have E show up on my dash and I lost everything above 2. Reverse is good. Car goes in limp mode if I continue driveing . Could cleaning my pack fix my problem
Any chance you know if the temp sensor is replaceable in the solenoid? That the only error I'm getting and it's made the box very rough on shifts and has no sports mode.
I don't believe it is, you may want to see what it's reading through a scan tool, clear the code see how long before it returns, also unplug the connector at the trans make sure no corrosion, to unplug it i think it's a 10mm bolt in the center of the connector, this is not a common problem, i don't really see this issue
Here in Australia these box's got installed into a sedan with a 4L straight six from 2008-2010 and they tend to get warm when treated like a race car which has been known to kill the temp sensor but I have found limited info on the solenoid block from the 5r55 until your video. Yeah will try the plug first I have already cleared codes and it's instant on start-up for low voltage on temp sense. If it's not a serviceable part I'll just have to order a new solenoid online. If I had any info on what operating temp voltage return was for that sensor I'd easily bypass that myself
Are those typically measurements at 0.314 - 0.313 just curious if maybe someone rebuilt mine and didn't reinstall it correctly. It may not matter from what I understand I have electrical codes so I'm guessing this would have nothing to do with my issue. Is that correct.Thanks Byron
I have watched many you tube videos but not one that I watched ever stated "why" they are R&R solenoid pak? The problem I have on my "04" Explorer is at first it was slow to shift into D & R but now I totally lost R all together all other drives seem fine what is your thoughts on the problem? Thanks for your time and video
Yep forward is fine-1&2 shifts fine -actually as long I don't need to back up I can drive it (I don't because I do not want to burn anything up) that's why I cant understand what is going on
I can feel it "kick" into R -I give it gas-engine revs it just wont move? put it drive it kicks in & moves forward sometime if I put it N and hit the 4 High button I hear and feel all 4 hubs lock in & it will back up- but only on flat ground (no power in R )
You have 2 things applied in reverse, the 4th clutch and the reverse band. If this drives fine with no issues in foward that tells me the 4th clutch is ok, so your problem is a broken reverse band.
I have a code on my car the shows the my control selenoid c it’s no working to fix this I have to buy the all block or I just can get the selenoid separate bt I been looking everything and didn’t find anything
this problem should display an error code? my sport trac 2008 shows no codes but I have problems with the transmission, the engages are hard. reverse hit.
I haven't attempted this procedure yet but will have to in the near future. My only concern is using the super glue on the caps. Any problems with the glue failing over time?
I sent ya the pics to your email account. How would you check the pack electrically as you stated? I removed the pan to check the magnet and change the fluid access /drain plug that the torque bolt got stripped in. Thought I would check the continuity from the solenoid plug to the plug for the computer on the 4 affected systems and ensure there is no damage to the wires under the anti chaff covering just like to see that the wires are in fact intact, undamaged and have continuity without unwrapping the entire wire bundle..Good Idea or waste of time? Sorry its killing me to just sit here and not getting anything done.Thanks Byron
Measured just like you did stayed on the edge of the bushings stayed out of the torque hole! 2003 ford Explorer. several measurement taken I'm sure these are accurate numbers
Hello, car starts up but dies soon as the wrench light comes on. It's a 2007 Ford Mustang. When the car stays running it runs and shifts perfectly fine until the wrench light kills the power to the car. Had the codes read and showed p2104, p0743, p0750, p0755, p0760 an p0765. Need help on this one. Thanks
you may not, you have to look at the pins. The connector is held down with either an 8 or 10 mm bolt. just loosen the bolt all the way, it will stay in the engine harness side.
+Gary Ferraro got it, I'll take a look at them tomorrow, what would be your next guess if there is no corrosion on the connector pins? Thanks for taking the time to help out btw, it's very much appreciated!
Gary Ferraro reason i asked if u had codes is bc i have a 2010 mustang its giving me codes P0968 and P0798 i hve ppl tell me to check harness for a ground short somewhere or that its the solenoid any advice u can give me
dear sir I have ford explorer 2010 last week I find sound under like transmission are transfer case with check engine light I find following dtc code -p0970 , p0966 ,p0962, p0765, p0760, p0755 ,p0750, p0743, how I can fixed it what can be the problem this car is AWD
Sir Gary, my suv is ford everest in Philippines, 2.5 TDCI engine. The solenoid packs looks mine. I have issue with P0775. I notice high RPM from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Then there is no 5th gear. O/D OFF will blink after 3 to 5 mins driving. I am planning to follow your procedure for my pressure control solenoid B, been on research on this. I am thinking my solenoid B was just obstructed with dirt from fluid. I can observe when using SHIFT 3 or 2 and not shift D, O/D will not blink and check engine. I can conclude something wrong with solenoid B only. Please help
Gary Ferraro i have a OBD II and It shift and drives but rpm just ravs like t won’t go into second or third gear took my pan down and took the solenoid case out haven’t opened it like you did because I have no depth tool
@@jec2606 Solenoid pack will not fix the car, if this shifts then you probably have a broken band, if your first shift is long then the front band is broken because it is shifting from 1st to 3rd. If it shift 1-2 and then revs then the rear band is broken, but if it does shift then the solenoid pack will not fix the car
@@GaryFerraro really?.. yeah I haven't found any info on single solenoid replacement but I did see that they sell them seperate online for about forty bucks each. Are the soldered in? And is there no way to swap them out that way? I have the bad pcc code. So figured I'd just change out that solenoid if I could. Or do you think boring it with the drill bit would fix it?
Very Good Video for Ford Explorer driver who need to know how to fix the transmission solenoid pack.
Thank You Gary Ferraro
Thanks for watching
Thanks a lot by share a clear and detailed information.
Does replacing this solinoid pack help the hard shifts? Or the hesitation between shifts?
Oh! and Thank you!!!!! for responding
Hey Gary, thank you for all your videos! How did you ohms test the pack exactly? Most people test each solenoid separately.
Can't you just change the solenoid separately
Do you happen to have to ohm specs for the solenoids? I tried looking but can not find them posted anywhere. Thanks!
I don't know off hand have to look at my manual

certainly sounds like the solenoid pack. Any codes? does the car by chance stop moving hot? what year is the car?
If I dont have a micrometer how else can I measure have far down to screw
Great info. question, Can these solenoids be bought individually? Or they come as a one whole part?
You can buy them individually but im not sure how to change them just yet. Did you ever figure that out?
excellent explanation, just what I wanted to know. many thanks for sharing.
the only question is which glue to apply. crazy glue?
Yes, clean the small part and a drop of crazy glue should hold it
@@GaryFerraro Many thanks for your contribution.

Grate video thank you
Thanks for watching
please what kind of measure that .78 is in microns, mm, ctm or inches apologize for my English
So wait u have to adjust the dept of the plungers?
Nothing done recently to the car. Cold air intake, headers, exhaust but that's it.
Questions, where is the fluid temp sensor. And the name of the depth gauge your using.
Thanks and as always great video Gary
Temp sensor is in the solenoid pack, I will get the name of the gauge and get back to you

@GaryFerraro no dipstick it won't shift out of first. The band wasn't broken when I replaced it. And I didn't really drive it, only the test drive.

Yea e shift the first and second and then the rpm go to high and the third one got stock and sometimes take a few seconds to take the gear on reverse and forward bt most of the time on the reverse and I take it to autozone and the was that one and suposible them ir the control pressure solenoid c
@@edgarpeewee1058 Pressure control C is for reverse, do you have any other codes? any chance you know someone with a snap-on scan tool?
Hi I have a Ford Explorer. That sometime doesn’t want to shift at all but sometime only run on 2 nd gear do Yo think this can revolve my problem
Do you have any codes present for the trans? if so let me know what they are
I have E show up on my dash and I lost everything above 2. Reverse is good. Car goes in limp mode if I continue driveing . Could cleaning my pack fix my problem
Probably not, would like to know what codes you have for the trans, this may give some direction

Yes, correct, this is the later style pack
Thanks for a video! Have you any typicall measurements for old style 5R55W/S pack?
Will the transmission not shift right if the solenoid pluggers aren't at the right depth
That is correct

my sport trac 2008 shows no codes but I have problems with the transmission, the engages are hard. reverse hit.
If there is a mechanical issue with the solenoid pack, it may not set a code. How does it upshift?
+Gary Ferraro the upshift are strong and late. I feel a pull.
I haven't attempted this procedure yet but will have to in the near future. My only concern is using the super glue on the caps. Any problems with the glue failing over time?
No, Hasent happen to me, before you glue them back on, spray them down with carb clean or brake kleen, this will dry them out and get them clean
Thanks Gary! You've already answered my next question; what to clean it with. Thanks again! Happy Easter!
