I replaced these plus the neutral safety switch and the flashing green D light went away plus i immediately noticed smoother shifting. Thank you!
I have my range sensor but will this solve my issue? Every time I go on high rpm on manual mode 6k it won’t let me shift into 3rd gear. Or sometimes 3rd to 4th.
Thanks for actually stating which pressure switch is which had to watch 3 videos that didn't mention that before finding this super helpful
Best video I've seen on this. Gonna knock it out on my 2008. Thank you!
I haven’t bought these but I have my new range sensor that I haven’t put on. I bought it because when I’m on high rpm let’s say 5500 or 6k it won’t let me shift into next gear on manual mode. 2nd to 3rd or sometimes 3rd to 4th
Always love watching installations
It’s such an asmr
Kevin your video very clear and informative how to do,,thank bro....
NICE WILL GIVE THIS A TRY CHANGED THE FILTER AND ANOTHER SENSOR IN FRONT OF THE FILTER IT GOT BETTER BUT IT'S DEFINITELY STILL ROUGH FROM 3RD TO 4TH SO I'LL TRY THAT AND SEE THANKS 🎉🎉 2 YEARS LATER THE PRICE IS SO MUCH CHEAPER $8 OE 3RD GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH $12 FOR THE 4TH LOL SO MUCH $$$ SAVED I HOPE IT FIXES THE HARSH SHIFTING IF NOT WON'T HURT TO REPLACE ANYWAY 😅😅
Where did you find it for that cheap at?
You're awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help me out. Would the failure of these cause your automatic transmission not to switch say into 5th gear? My 06 has been taken care of very well and had no lights on my dash whatsoever? Hopefully you have time to answer my question. Thanks in advance.
According to what others experience. It’s one of the factors that usually go out over time and slowly wear the transmission out. The main cause of the transmission failure is the transmission cooler.
So replacing the pressure switches will help with shifting and acceleration to improve performance and mpg
It would be nice to have some orientation. Are you in the wheel well? If so which side of the car?
Nice video!! should you change pressure switches after 200,000 miles? No rough shifting rather be safe than sorry. Do you have part number?
I highly recommend it and sadly I do not. I did post the link of the pressure switches in the description for anyone that needs it
Thanks for the video and links. Ordered mine earlier this evening.
Is there a second n first pressure switch also?
So I have a 2004 Acura TL and my when I move the gear selector into drive there's about a six or seven second delay and then I feel the transmission sort of slowly engaging. The car will drive fine for about four or five minutes and then it's almost as if the car slips into neutral but the selector hasn't moved. It's as if it was moved to Neutral but it's still in Drive. I've started having to use the manual mode on the gear selector and the " 1" shows on the dash but it's as if it's still in neutral and doesn't engage and the car won't move but the rpm's fly way up. If I push up on the selector to shift into the " 2 " mode on the dash there's about five or six seconds delay and then the transmission slowly engages. From there I can shift into " 3 " and " 4 " and also back down into " 2 " but after about five minutes of this eventually it's as if the transmission slips into neutral or is barely engaging if at all and I usually have to pull the car over and either allow it to cool down completely for a few hours at which point I can repeat the process. When the car is engaged the transmission feels fine and doesn't slip at all. I've done a single drain and fill but I sort of was waiting for a better guess as to what's failing before I do so. It's so embarassing when my cars blocking traffic while I push it off the side of the road and it's almost heartbreaking because the car is really nice looking and I like it but the transmission replacement job is just out of my budget. I can do the work myself but I'm just super lost as to even finding the information I need to properly guess which shift solenoids to replce or what pressure switches maybe? Not even sure if that's the issue. Could it be a bad torque converter? One thing I have noticed is when I go for a short ride to the gas station a block or two away and get home and put the gear selector into " P " I hear a sort of abrupt clunk. Kind of like the sound of a gear crunching sort of or the teeth of a gear sort of meshing roughly. If you had to make an educated guess what do you think I should start with first replacing and then second and third? I think the solenoids are cheap enough I can replace them one by one if I have to until either the problem solves itself or I realize I need a new transmission and cry myself to sleep. Lol.
From what I can tell there's very poor documentation as to what exactly the failure is that people are experiencing but instead of diagnosing them correctly I'm finding most people just went for a complete transmission replacement. If the car was brand new maybe it would be worth a $3,000 transmission replacement but not at this point 199,000 miles in. Praying for a cheap fix even if it's not a perfect solution or ideal. I just want it to be able to drive and then I'll drive the car into the ground and not look back.
Hey this just happened to mine yesterday I didn’t know what to do had to pull into nearest parking lot there was. Have you figured out what is it that’s wrong wit the car? Mine does exactly the same you just said, as if it was in neutral and when I put it in park I hear that little crank noise it makes as well. Reply if you have found out what’s wrong with the car!
@@MikeyMystery45 hey did you find ot what was wrong with your Acura. Mine is doing the same
it starting to sound like an epidemic of shift valve problem...
EDIT: valve body problem that is.
@@loriepaulsen1357 I changed my transmission fluid three times and replaced a couple of the shift solenoids and it fixed the problem. Make sure you drive it around for awhile and then right when you get home drop the transmission fluid drain plug. That way all the gunk falls out. It really does seem to fix the issues I had with mine. There's four of the shift solenoids but I can't remember which one actually fixed it. I sort of felt like it was the fluid changes that did the real fixing honestly. Good luck with your car.
I have an ‘05 and it won’t go into gear it’s an automatic and it says that it’s in drive on the dash, yet it doesn’t move and the engine revs really high. It also doesn’t move when I try to use the manual function either. Would this help?
did you figure it out mine has the same problem?
Good video! How did you know that these pressure switches needed to be replaced? Any error codes or any symptoms?
It mostly maintenance. Plus read on forums stating it’s mostly 3rd and 4th you have to replace after 100k miles I order for the tranny to shift properly
@@Leek_ee did you order from dealer or online? Results?
@@TheCastedone ordered from Amazon and the results are better than before. Performs so much better
How much did this cost to replace
@@Jc6speedDetails at beginning of video.
Yo Did this a couple years ago
And transmission fluid change
Tranny runs smooth
Did you get the switches from an OEM source? OR thru amazon? Bc if amazon switches work for like 20% of the price...
😂 I’m looking at Amazon ones right now. I just check the reviews and hope I don’t get a fault part
I have a delayed hard slam downshift into second gear when passing kickdown - will this help?
Did you blip the rpm above 5k so it can be smooth?
Is there a switch for the reverse gear?
This guy- “Okay they’re gonna be right here”
Me- okay but where the fuck are you drivers side?
right 😂
Please tell me where you saw in the Honda manual or any other repair manual that says this is the way to have the ECU recognize a new pressure switch. I have been looking everywhere regarding your demonstration and even asked my Honda dealer, and their response was there is no procedure other than using an OBD2 meter to erase the codes.
Hey, I have a question, do you have to drain your transmission fluid in order to change the pressure switches? I want to replace those and take my car to the dealer so they can do a fluid change. The landlord won’t let me change the fluid in my parking lot
You don’t really need to drain the fluid tbh. But it would be great to do so to get it out of the way for it to perform better
Your car will lose pressure if you take one bit of trans fluid out.
You will notice the difference right away, and that empty feeling in your gut will haunt you for a few weeks unless you fix it right away.
Trans fluid has to be at a certain level.
So yeah.
Change everything first and then do it
Does it matter which two sensor goes? They both look the same.
I changed these on my acura RL 2008 - when it was acting up (shuddering in 4th - 5th under low load 40-45mph range)
Now i've lost my 5th gear entirely, and it gives me an error code check transmission
I wonder what's the difference between these 2 black white switch
Bro that was very helpful. Thanks so much
I’d there a first and second switch we can change as well ??
Wow I did not know that 😮?? How would I know to which out I did my tranny oil change yesterday should I have changed them too ???
Another video describes the 3rd pressure switch being at the highest height of the two.. Which is it?
What gear is the brown pressure switch
How the hell do you disconnect the blue holder on the wire
I got a question my TL has a delay of shifitng could it be the soleniod?
Reset the tranny after flushing the fluid. That should help, if not then it’s the solenoid
How did changes those work out for you? Does the car run a lot better?
Very good. After you change the fluid out and a new filter too. It runs so much better, especially after you reset the tranny. So smooth now
@@Leek_ee do u drive it in sport mode? Hopefully this fixes my issue Bc I can’t shift into third in sport mode
Are these the same for a 2007 Acura TL Type S?
Does the 04-06 TL uses a 2nd Gear pressure switch? Where is located? I need help bro! Thnks!
Hey where is the first n second sensors located?
I love these wheels. What are they?
Hey I have a question. I have a 2005 Acura TL & my car started running horrible just a bit ago. I was driving fine & out of no where my rpm just shot up & my car didn’t accelerate! Just coasted I let off the gas & kept giving it gas & let off & finally got it to start driving again. Got to where I was going put it in park didn’t turn it off & then left made it about 2 miles down the street & it started acting up again. At this point I was afraid to come to a complete stop because it was not trying to get accelerate at all. By some miracle I made it back to where I was going but I could not get my car to get above 20 mph & would not drive right! I tried shifting It into other gears & putting it into the manual shift mode & it went straight to 1st & 2nd but wasn’t accelerating! I’m lost on what to do! Is this something that you may have experienced & if so what did you do to fix it?
How many miles is on the car at the moment? And has it gone through a transmission flush?
Have you fixed your problem?
Have you fixed it?? If so, how?
Anyone have any updates on this issue. I'm going to replace the switches and the filter and hope it fixes it.
Acura tl 2004 I own
The speed at which you pan the camera from the pressure switches on top of the delivery package to the car is too fast, I have no idea where these are physically located. Take the time to provide a spacial and conceptual overview before diving into details.
I’m sorry. Can you be more rude? If you cannot differentiate where this part of the car is. Maybe you shouldn’t attempt to watch. Tactfulness my friend, it’s called tactfulness.
No idea. Really ? STEP AWAY FROM THE WRENCHES ! NOW !
That sounds like a you problem
I have a 07 TL and when I put it in drive my D light won’t show and also my manual mode won’t even work? Any suggestions? Bought car like that but drives very good still.
There’s a possibility you’ll need a tranny rebuild. A lot of people gotten those symptoms
Can you tell us the specific symptoms if any? I have occasional bumpy downshifting coming to a stop from 3 to 2 or 3 to 1. Up shifting is perfect and same with coasting.. Changed fluids etc, still the same weird downshifting . I have an 2010 MDX.
That’s mainly the symptoms. If it feels bumpy or jerky getting into gears. Even in reverse, you’ll feel those bumpy symptoms.
@@Leek_ee did it solve jerky shifts for shifitng into 2, and not just 3 and 4?
Have you had any issues with the Amazon Honda switches? Heeltoe wants double?
Nothing whatsoever. Holds up amazingly well
Does the automatic have this pressure switches?
car shakes at 40mph n struggles to pass it do you think it’s the pressure switch ? or something more major or something completely differently such as wheels or alignment
I think that’s either your axles or ball joints
How did u turn off your nav screen
Turn off the brightness or don’t touch it when you turn on your car
when you did the sea foam flush did you change the trans filter also?
Yea, I did all the maintenance on the transmission. It drive a lot smoother and mpg went up
Never flush a transmission fluids ever bro
Would you recommend going oem or aftermarket for these parts?
Highly recommend oem
My first car 79 cutlass never had these problems
0:48 I’m pretty sure you bought fake Honda switches. Honda does not package its parts in bags that look anything like that. Especially off of Amazon.
I have a 04 that’s the problem I’m having like it’s runs fine for a few minutes but when it warms up it goes in limp mode
Figure it out ?
Bruh just a question I been wanted to start a channel for my TL especially cause I just bout another one for a few hundred dollars but do you just record on your phone? What program do you use to edit?
I use a iPhone to record since the mic is better than my camera. The software I use is called Luma. It’s $30 on the App Store and i edit on my iPad
@@Leek_ee appreciate it I’m gonna start one here in a few weeks probably a whole different channel.
Does it necessary to remove battery cable before replacing the sensors?
Yes it’s helps to reset the transmission after
What are the part numbers please and thank you
You have torque specs still?
Hey bud, I have an 05 TL so transmission wasn’t going into Reverse and I replace both pressure solenoid and it got the reverse but now I can here a nasty growling sound on transmission and sometimes it won’t engage reverse and it gives it a pull when I put it on drive?
Try to reset the transmission to recalibrate the gears. If it’s still doing the same thing, the transmission is possibly giving out
Hey bro, My 05 tl has 135k. Sometimes the trans is sluggish and the d flashes from time to time, But it shifts fine as in no slippage. Should I change these pressure switches?
Yes with a tranny flush and a new filter. After that, reset your transmission to have a better acceleration
How to reset the tranny ?
@@Leek_ee reset how? With a scantool?
@@anythinganytimealways my video should explain how to reset the transmission.
The resetting of the transmission starts at 5:25
I have a 2006 acura tl and when i step on the gas it just revs and barelllly goes what can that bee?
The throttle wire could very loose
Can I replace the 3rd gear n not the 4th and b ok I’m almost positive it’s what’s wrong with my 05
With fluid and filter change
Where is the location of these switches, I can't find them
Is yours an auto or manual?
????????
Is it behind the wheel??????
The new switches are not the same size as the old ones dude.
The engine might start giving you inconsistent acceleration at top speeds.
Do you drive with the manual mode?
Yup, the shifts felt very smooth
@@Leek_ee you’re like my CZcams mechanic for my TL lol
Anything to help 🥺
My Honda Accord when I shift from P or N to D it take like 2 or 3 second to engage and when it does make a huge jerk even worst if was accelerating, can these 2 switches be the problem or something else?
It kinda doesn’t fix it. Mine had that issue still regardless of regular maintenance
... i think it's the expensive linear shift solenoid that's no longer able to modulate smooth shifts pressures
Mine does the EXACT same thing. How'd you fix it? 🤔
Are those the correct links to the pressure switches? Please reply
Beware of Amazon with the 3rd gear pressure switch. Ordered it twice abs both times they sent me the 4th gear pressure switch. Their label of the part number is different than what’s on the actual Honda part packaging. Might have to go to a dealership for this part since Amazon can’t get it right.
why would you cheap out on something so essential to the transmission in the first place?
@@mkobd when did he say he cheaped out? you can’t read? he said the amazon package and the actual honda part had two different numbers
Is this the same for the acura tl 2005 bro ?
Yessir! As long if it’s an auto
@@Leek_ee does this count for autos that have slab shift?
I have a 2005 Acura TL there’s some time that’s it jerks on 1 to 2 or 3 but there’s time that doesn’t do it no more and it shift gears normal. Do you think that’s the problem on my car.
Most likely, resetting the transmission will help make smoother too
Can you do a videos how to reset it?
The other guy from different channel says the top pressure switch is the 2nd and 3rd and the bottom one is the 4th. So witches is witch exactly?
The top is 3rd
@@Leek_ee Thanks mate.👍
Why does the top one have a 4 on it though?
What about the first pressure switch ?
From what the forum states. It’s mostly the 3rd and 4th that tends to have the most issues. The others should be fine
@@Leek_ee well I had my transmission rebuilt but for some reason my first wont go like at all I have to upshift it manually into 2nd in order to drive it and then it's fine but everytime I'm in first it's like a neutral
My Acura tl 06 automatic is acting up. It drops from 4th gear down to 3rd followed by hi rev
@@HiddenLeaf979 either 3rd and 4th pressure switches or time for the rebuild of transmission
All gears are find except 4th. It goes it 4th and drives normal until it hits 60mph then it down shifts to 3rd following high rev
hey my acura tl 2008 recently had a newer auto trans put in but its only goes to 3rd gear its does not shift passed it. do you know if this may be the cause of it ?
Try resetting the transmission. Probably it wasn’t calibrated properly
