Just replaced the shift solenoid in my neighbors durango. The owner was going to scrap it until I fixed it then he gave me the title. 😂
😂
This is the absolute best video online!
Thanks, very well explained
Nicely done. Thanks
Who here suspects they have a Bad Shift Solenoid?
I have an 06 canyon that I suspect has a bad solenoid it has reverse and all forward gears but only if I shift them manually for instance when I put it in Drive its like a second neutral but if I put it in 1 amd shift it manually it will go through all the gears and even overdrive if Im in drive and already at speed whats your thoughts
My transmission shifts from first to second but shifting into third it's shifts back to first
I do... Is it advisable to change the whole gearbox
Not me. I just enjoy learning
My 2007 grand marquis needs something done because I drive in o/d. Been doing that since I purchased the car. Now the transmission is doing some wacky stuff, basically everything named in the video besides complete failure. Help!
Very informative! 🎉
Thank you you are the best no I know what could be wrong with my transmission
Well explain boss, thank you
🦉..Great information, thank you..👍🙏
Thanks this help alot.
Great video thanks
Thank you very for knowledge. A big help.
The bad news is that every transmission shop they're going to try to sell you a new one or rebuild it and it's 5k dollars and up this why everyone sell their car instead of fixing it
Tell em to go fuck themselves and either they buy the parts that are needed to fix and it and fix it, or you take it to another shop
This is very common and it's sad that they will lie and tell you that you need a full transmission change rather than just swapping in a new solenoid pack. These shops are very dishonest because they make all their money on providing new or rebuilt transmissions, not doing a simple quick and inexpensive fix for the customer. This is why the videos advice to take your vehicle to a transmission shop is false because they have every motivation to tell you that your entire transmission is broken, rather than just the simple smaller component.
Dodge dealer wants to charge me $7000 to put new rransmission in
Well explained
Hi. Great video. My question is that my Honda civic 2005 Automatic transmission Car cannot move on Drive and reverse. But very slowly and after some meters running coming on nuteral and not moving on giving accelerator. What problem?
Would this cause rear tires to stop in reverse? Checked the pads and everything, everything seems ok there. Can’t figure out what’s wrong it’s a old Dodge 2001 dually.
Thanks I got a 02 avalanche and yeah it definitely does all of these but changed good in first second gear
You got a update on it ?
I have a subaru and took it to the dealership they recommend a flush and if that doesn't work a new transmission.... I bet getting a flush and replacing the solenoid will resolve the issues....
Just changed the fluid in my 07' accord but noticing more when I let off the gas feels like the trans isn't locked. Drives and shifts fine only when I let off the gas 🤔
VW DSG09 transmissions are notorious for valve body (shift solenoid) problems. Changing the ATF will not fix the problem of hard shifting and flares. There are some good videos on CZcams all about this VW transmission. Don't undertake this job if you are not confident in your abilities and have good jack stands and hydraulic jacks for backup. Always stay safe before getting under a car!
Currently in this situation 🥲
My 2001 Infiniti I30t obd2 shows code for celioniod transmission assembly but it shifts smoothly however do hear scratching noises on 1st and 2nd gears sometimes. It has 163,000 miles.
nice video bro
What are the reasons for the 20-minute delay in engaging the Daihatsu automatic transmission?
I have a 2006 Chevy Colorado with 240K miles. Transmission is not shifting out of first automatically. If I run the RPMs up to 3500 and let off of the gas, it shifts to the next gear. Is this indicative of a bad shift solenoid(s).
I rebuild my 2000 Astro one year ago and started to kick on first gear
Sir, when I put my 2008 Ford Explorer in Reverse and D, the vehicle does not move, but the RPM increases. However, when the gear lever is shifted to 3, the vehicle moves, indicating that it is capable of driving.
Is it enough to change the solenoid pack to address the problem?
I went to many local repair shops and described the situation, but they all told I needed to overhual the gearbox.
What are your recommendations? Should I get a solenoid replaced and tested, or should I get a gearbox overhaul?
In any cases you have to change valves + oil. If it doesn't help then you will need to disassemble the gearbox..
Sir, the update is that I went to the local transmission shop, and they said they would make the transmission okay. I got the vehicle after 4 days, and while testing it for 2 days, the wrench sign came back. it happen when put the leaver to R and jerk comes with wrench sign,
I returned the vehicle to them, and they said there were codes on the ECM, which are solenoid B and C.
They take the vehicle and replace the solenoid. Both the first and second solenoids are rebuilt.
Again, I tested the vehicle for 2 days, and the wrench sign came back. I went to the shop again, and they said the same codes came back.
They now believe the ECM is false. They also ask about the engine and transmission cabling, which I told them I replaced around 4 years ago.
It means they are trying to blame this issue on the ECM and that their transmission rebuild or whatever they did was perfect.
sir now suggestion what to do or where is the fault. Thank You
I have a question about my 2WD 2011 Ford Ranger Automatic Transmission. It was supposed have been replaced about 2 1/2 years ago and was working fine until last year when a problem started occurring. when leaving to go somewhere the transmission would go into drive fine, however after going a short distance of a few blocks and usually when coming to a stoplight, when I go to accelerate from the stop the transmission lose drive gear, after stopping and shifting into park, or reverse it eventually will engage again and go on shifting normally. A couple times it did continue to slip. However it typically would return to normal operation without further problems. I found the problem seemed to be less frequent during the hot Phoenix summer. I checked the fluid level and it was ok. I found more increasingly lately I would lose drive when entering the freeway during acceleration and have avoided driving on the freeway completely. The problem has became very frequent when leaving for the past few months but typically goes away after the initial loss of drive which will "Engage' after a few seconds or longer and no longer slip or act up and operate normally.
Today while driving close by after and during rain and cooler temps that Drive completely failed after stopping a couple places a block away and then refueling. Reverse also would not engage completely and slipped, but D1 and D2 worked ok and I did make it home. I tried several time to go and try it in Drive and Reverse, and drove around the mobile home park to see if things would return to normal, but it continues to slip badly. It did flash the O/D light during these tests which from my research indicated slippage after 3 attempts.
I tried adding additional fluid but the problem continued. Tonight I let it run idling in park for about 20 minutes. When I tried it again it seemed to work as normal without slippage, however I did not take it out on the street, only at slower speed around the park where it did shift from 1st to 2nd fine and had no apparent slippage. Last year I did remove the equivalent of a bottle of Lucus Transmission Treatment worth of transmission fluid drawn from the Dipstick Tube, and added the Lucus treatment hoping to resolve the issues, which did seem to help, but may have been due to operating at hotter temps during the summer.
Do you have any suggestions? Would a fluid & filter change be advised? I would guess I have about 30K miles on the "Replaced Transmission" and everything operated normal for over a year until the problems stated occurring. The fluid I removed looked good, not dark or contaminated. Do these symptoms indicate a problem with transmission electronic controls/computer module or shift solenoids? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried finding videos on this ford automatic transmission with similar issues with no luck. It's odd that the transmission fails like this after just driving less than a block or a few blocks and stopping, not able to engage in drive when starting forward acceleration again, then within a few seconds or sometime after rolling to place to pull over then stopping, trying shifting to park, reverse etc.. then it will engage and operate normally with no slippage.
I just found today that D1& D2 worked when Drive and Reverse would slip badly with almost no engagement, just slight forward and backward movement respectively. I did not rev the motor excessively as to not do damage, or have a "Hard Engagement" and break something.

Whelp, just learned my shift solenoid was on the way out, and I learned it the hard way.
My shift B solenoids for my 3-4 clutch pack in my 4L60e was fresh from a transmission rebuild, and it was only partially actuating. As a result my 3-4 clutches were slipping without me realizing, and I just had a complete 3-4 failure.
Pulled out the solenoids and yep, Shift B clicked great, Shift A when having 12 volts applied barely clicked.
Nice video
Hi, just got a tyranny code, check engine light, did the oil in the transmission, and still came on .Thx for info .
What was the code
How many people will actually do this? Maybe one in a million. Most people today don’t even know or care how to check the oil much less open a transmission and replace parts.
Did anyone fix this issue?
2007 Pontiac g6 I can move the shifter and It goes in reverse, neutral and manual but when in drive its stuck in neutral. What is this? I've had a new transmission filter change and still no luck
Forgot the step, Remove each solenoid one at a time, test-clean-test it, replace accordingly.
Whats best way to test
2006 mustang auto , gear up was perfect, gear down from 2 to 1 gave hard jerk. Also reverse. Replaced solonoid, now's downshift issue gone but opposite upshift jerk in ALL gears has come. Changed to another used Solenoid, same isue. What could be the cause?
The used solenoid duh? Why would you try and fix a bad solenoid with another used one? Quit being cheap and get a new solenoid
does a shift solenoid affect the transmission going into overdrive?
I have a Nissan Altima 2006, engine laboring in gear, and pretty much in park as well, while stopped at a light. Not looking forward to the Dx.
I have been experiencing the same thing
I’m getting a P0720 with AT light on my dash. I thought I solved the code by replacing the output speed sensor, but it came back weeks later. I drive a 2011 Mazda 3 2.5L so if y’all have any advice I’d greatly appreciate it.
Best is to replace valve body with TCM that will solve the problem
does a bad shift solenoid keep a 2000 honda civic from going in every gear but drive?
Let us go back to cars that were simple. All this solenoid and fluid is doing my head in.... lol
I agree
Thanks for this video. My 98 Regal has a leak. Every now and then, it will not go into reverse. Is this due to the shift solenoid or something else. Would a flush and the obvious leak rpr do? Thanks!!
I have the same problem here...I replaced my fluid and leak..and seemed to get a bit worse...hope this helps
Please help, I drive a 2004 toyota corolla.
There is not enough accelerating power when I select on D AND 2,But reverse and L2 Works perfectly
Did u ever get it fixed??? I have similar issue. When getting into first gear. With my 07 Lexus IS250
Some professionals are failing us

Please kindly help me i have a problem with my nissan qashqai 1.6 automatic 2015 .the mechanic diagnosed it with a P2815 Pressure Control Selonoid Valve G problem.Please kindly help me as i cannot find any qualified technician to help me fix it.I reside in Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Am using 2004 honda Accord 3.0 v6
My problem is whn i kick full acceleration rip goes high and rpm is cutting off.. not shifting to next gear .but when i drive normally all gears are shifting normal.. only in full throttle rpm is cutting and not shifting anyone knw why?
I have a 2015 nissan nv200 and I feel it it jerks when driving especially after a 5 minutes driving. By buddy said it's a transmission or could be a torque converter.
When I engage in reverse, it jerks and moves smoothly but sometimes does not move at all.
When drive is engaged, it sometimes skips 1 and moves to 2. It jerks when changing from 2 to 3 and the engine RPM will raise as if it enters natural before 3 is engaged.
It does not engage 4 & 5 at all even when speed and acceleration is increased.
When the car is stopped or speed reduced, it remains in gear 3 most of the time except if the can is brought to a total halt.
Whey could be the problem; solenoids, verve body or what?
Please let me know how to fix it
My dodge grand caravan has a 62te transmission i had the transmission done less than 10000 miles ago. Now it is reving and not shifting into gears 2nd ect.
Could it be the intermediate shaft speed sensor or something more serious
My 93 is doing the same I'm won't shift out of first, and I Idoling high/reving .
Did you find a solution?
My 2012 GMC terrain drives like 200 Miters and removes all the gears while shifting to the 3rd gear. Is it the solenoid or torque convert need a replacement? Or another transmission
Burn that car. I had a 2014 terrain denali for 3 yrs and had to put a new engine in it and then the transmission started messing up. Had nothing but problem after problem with that POS.
I replaced the transmission, and everything is good now
My 1992 Buick Roadmaster Wagon is having trouble accelerating making whining noise 😩
I had a problem whereby the car slows down before entering gear 1 when you put it on drive. But changes changes and downshift a well oncws it finally enter gear. It turns out that two of the transmission selenoid went bad. I had it replaced and the problem stopped.
Can codes for gearratio monitoring
Update on my '05 KIA Sorento with 205,000. Book says 2 quarts of transmission fluid when changing. I did. Didn't even show on stick. I cautiously added another quart, did it all by the book and using this video as a guide also. Nothing after 3 quarts. Added a 4th. Just started to appear at the bottom of the stick. Added a 5th. Got barely to the bottom cut of where it's supposed to be. Asked myself, should I add a 6th. quart? Remember, they only said 2. I didn't add another quart but did add 16 ounces or so of Barr's molasses. That got 'er at least inside the bottom cut/line whatever you want to call it. Anybody with a KIA Sorento ever experience this? Over 6 quarts when book called for 2.

What is it when the transmission won't go into drive when cold but I can either turn the O/D off or put it in "2"/"1" and it goes into gear just fine? Once warmed up it is perfectly fine.
i have issues when cold aswell
Honda Accord 2004 fwd
@BakaRed77 have you changed the filter and fluid. I've always heard that when your vehicle has hard time cold then fine when warm it usually means your transmission fluid is done or has been burnt or just not doing its job anymore. Everyone does know that you should change your transmission fluid around every 30-60,000 miles don't they? If you haven't changed it ....change it and the filter. And I get that some people say don't change it and guess what I do I change it anyway and have never had a problem one with it killing the tranny. And I've changed some nasty transmission fluid, the kind that will gag ya when smelling it
Im having issues with the 2016 exploder 4cyl ecoboost transmission. It tends to bang into reverse once you've only throttled up like its not getting pressure thru the solenoid. Ive had the reverse solinoids replaced twice. First time under warranty. Second time it never helped. I replaced the whole valve body and solinoids, and there was no change in the reverse bang. I've changed the fluid twice, with lucas aditive no change. I believe there is a glitch in adaptive learning. I've had it reset and still issues! It angers me after 100 years of design that computers are destroying transmissions when mechanical transmissions worked fine. Aaaaaaaaaah! Help!
I have a 04 Chevy 2500 hd it has the forward gears but no reverse gear strangely it will move a little bit in neutral in the reverse direction like fluid pressure is being applied to the reverse circuit but as soon as it moves to a small bump it stops it from moving anyone ever had this problem I checked the codes it has a 700 code flagged saying it’s something to do with the f solenoid
I have an 04 pilot that drives normal, but has recently started to fall into a false neutral. See you when you stop at a stop sign or we’re going real slow around the corner it doese it but if I put it in D2 I can take off again and then put it back in the drive and it’s normal. Any ideas on what’s going on there?
Did you figure out what the problem was?

When you add fluid. Start car, manually shift through gears. Check and fill as needed. Add a couple quarts of atf before you start the procedure. (Car off)
Unfortunately my 18 impala is slipping, but NO code at all.
Im getting a p0757 code on my 2006 Honda Odyssey. From what I read, its from a Bad B solenoid. Hoping my problem is fixed after replacing this part! I first suspected this problem when my (D) drive light was flashing, then the check engine light came on. But For some weird reason, the lights have dissapeared from my dash. No check engine light, No D light flashing. Van seems to be running normal, but im still getting the error code when I put a scanner to it. Hoping the replacement fixes this issue! Anybody else have a solenoid problem with a honda odyssey?
When I put my car to drive it doesn't move when putting on jack i turn wheels with a hand

Also I don't trust any mechanic you take it to a transmission place they're going to tell you it's going to cost 3 to $5,000. They're all about the money that's all they are about. I've never found a mechanic that doesn't rip you off actually only one in my entire life so far but he is no longer in business. Mechanics are money hungry rip offs most of them

What about if my car just simply won’t drive forward? It goes into reverse , it shifts gears, just won’t drive forward.
Check your transmission fluid level.
Most likely low or dirty.
I'd recommend you change it

U ever fix your car
My camry also won't drive forward would you like to tell me how do you fix the problem .I am from Macedonia and my toyota camry is only and one on the whole state I import from USA and mehanic doesn't know how to fix thanks
Delay shifting and shows a standard transmission. You just have to change only the driver. 😂😂😂
How the hell does the engine coolant have to do with the shift solenoid? 🤣 😵
The fluids both look reddish? not really, coolant is more pink 🤣
Nothing mention on Reverse.
Putting it Reverse.
Hard shift when i put in Reverse

@@fozzyyi5420you probably have bad motor mounts.
Ive got an interesting one. 2004 camry 2.4. Put in drive/reverse runs correctly for about 2-3 minutes. After that everything goes into neutral no matter shifter position. Let it cool off and it repeats. I thought tcu was getting hot so i put salvage on and exact same thing. During the 2-3 minutes it works correctly, it will spin the tires, so not clutches. Im thinking electrical, possibly a solenoid because it seems like something is getting hot. It loses any movement after couple minutes. Once cool and restarted, the movement returns but only for 2-3 minutes. No slipping clutches. It's either working or it's not. Like a switch gets flipped. U241E. Would a specific solenoid cause a complete neutral situation? Any ideas please?
Did you fix this issue?
@@ericmccain6924 after trying the new ecu/tcu and it did exactly same thing, I thought possibly a fluid restriction so I pulled pan. Some sediment but no metal pieces or chunks. Filter looked clogged so I put new filter and fluid. Now it shifts ok but will randomly freak out and do different things. Sometimes it will hesitate between gears, last time I was cruising in second gear and it shifted to first for no apparent reason. I'm thinking it might be a speed sensor but still not throwing any codes. Don't want to just throw parts at it $$. I have access to a u250e I might could get vss Off tranny if they are same. Gotta check.

A bad throttle sensor allows you to move gears and if you scan the car throttle sensor codes will come out
