We’re all here hoping we don’t need a new transmission 😂

So we all have dead cars rn 😂👏🏽

Thank you so much young man. I have a 2016 Ford Focus and had the clutch replaced and my car is still experiencing these symptoms and by watching your video I realized my car is going into limp mode. The dealership will not fix anything else other than the clutch that’s under warranty unless I cough up some more money. Thank you!

Incredibly well made and great for those of us that are not mechanically inclined. Thank you

I love the break down how your explain what each action and reaction is.

Thank you so much. Explanation helped me more the second day I watched it!

Great explanation of what the automatic transmission parts do.

Thx so much 10 years just needed to know this , aww thx so much !!!

My 2001 lesabre started with severe delayed shifting, first to second wasn't bad but second to third would slam into gear, I did some research and found that this was a known problem on some lesabre models. The temporary fix if you can call it that is to shut the car off which resets the module, leave it off for a couple of minutes then it shifts normally again until it does it again, sometimes it lasts for a bit but then the problem comes back, with close to 300,000 miles it was time to replace all five solonoids. I purchased all five as a package deal off eBay, all OEM parts, the first thing is to prepare the patient by raising the rear and front of the car, I used ramps on the rear and jacked up the front as high as I could because you need to lower the subframe and remove the strut cv axle and everything necessary to gain access to the side cover of the transmission. Remove the cover and it's relatively easy after that except for one thing, the wiring harness that connects the solonoids together, from being heated and cooled a million times the clips that hold the connectors are more brittle than Bob Barkers back, one broke on me and there's no real way to secure it thst I felt confident with. I went to my local Buick dealer and go my surprise they still made the harness, and it could be mine for the poultry sum of 350.00 dollars. I told him I'd let him know, went home and low and behold I found one on eBay for 25 bucks, the only thing was that now I had to wait almost a week with the car in pieces taking up my driveway. I received the part put everything back together and prayed. That was about five years ago and she's been shifting perfect ever since, all told parts, the side cover gasket was the most, second to the solonoids at 55 bucks, all five solonoids were 75 from eBay,,the whole job was around maybe 175 including trans fluid, you loss a lot from the side cover, I also removed and replaced the trans filter while I was at it. I've been working on cars for almost 40 years now, I wouldn't recommend doing if yourself for a beginner but then again, everybody has to start somewhere, power tools aren't necessary but they make the job to faster, with hand tools it's a lot of nuts and bolts to remove.

Right on brother ' you've given me hope. 👍 As I drive my 2009 F-150 4×4, the automatic transmission will shift into first gear smoothly, it shifts into second smoothly, then it clunks sharply into third gear at around 35 to 40 mph. Viewing your video, I'm hoping it is something as simple as a solenoide. Thanks again 👍🙏

Before running out and buying those solenoids try replacing the Transmission Control Module that is located inside the air filter box, (Chevy Impala) no tools required and it fixed my problem. They will run you about $20 at the salvage yard, fault P0700.! It takes 5 minutes to replace! You're Welcome

thank you for your concise clarification. will change fluids tomorrow and possibly change solenoiod

Good shit exactly my symptoms in my Cadillac limp mode limited speed and shift delay also stuck in 2nd/3rd gear

2 days ago my older 2000 F250 (only 136,000 miles on it) went "clunk" and the whole truck lurched - then it was like it was stuck in a low gear. I still had to drive a mile home - it did this 3 more times, lurching like it was about to stop, stuck in a low gear and higher rpm's - but it got me and my groceries home - and I haven't touched it since. Least now I know what to tell the mechanic. Thanks.

Those are exactly the symptoms my truck is having 😢 better than needing a new transmission by far😅

Thank you for the information. Driving home last night (any where from 40 - 70 mph) with no stops, until in town, my 2009 Chrysler Town & Country stalled. Started up in neutral, shift to Drive, and it stalled again. Kept trying, was able to get it going and found it would run/drive using manual D1, D2, etc. Works okay in reverse. No engine light though? Prior to this stalling problem I have noticed at stop lights, the engine seems to idle at higher RPM. But not all the time. Taking it to the transmission shop for professional diagnosis. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Thanks for your posting...very helpful :)

I did like the good examples. I hope to Hear more. Thanks. Tony.

I have an automatic 2003 Honda Civic 1.7 LX. My transmission is acting up with no check engine. How can I tell if it slips or delay in shifting? I fixed one Honda by replacing the 1,2,3,4 shift solenoid as one unit (I was getting code for it) but this feels like slips and to my understanding that needs overhauled. What cause transmission to slip between shiftings?

Thanks for explaining the problem I am having with my 2010 Ford Focus. I hope it can be fixed!

Hello there great video … question would a electronic control modulator stop you from selecting gears due to No communication? I have a 99 international I can’t put it in any gear to drive …

How do I tell if it's just the solenoid switch, or the entire transmission? Because I hope it's the former because replacing just the solenoid would be much cheaper than replacing the whole tranny.

Do you always get a code for a shift solenoid? My trans stays stuck in a gear. It doesn't act like a slipping transmission to me. It's a 2003 Ford F-250 with a 6.0

Love it!! Thank you!

Short and informative..great video...Thanks so much

Very Helpful. Thanks

Just changed the 1-2 shift solenoid in Blazer the other day. Drove great after replacing the solenoid.

Massive help thanks bud

i replaced solenoids on my 07 Jetta and did valve body shift kit too and it made it shift like new. Solenoid orings swell too stopping them to move

Thanks mate great information

Great explanation. Thanks

Thanks for the info

One of the best video about repairs on cars I've seen ever

I have a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring Skyactiv that has a delayed shift from park to drive, then slipping between gears, how do you identify exactly which solenoid would cause these symptoms? From park to reverse is fine and it seems fine when operating manually. Thanks

I have a 2000 lexus gs300. I can not shift out of park without pressing the release switch. Also i can not shift from neutral to reverse without pressing the release button. Its not the brake switch i already replaced that. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you! Those are the symptoms my car is experiencing!!

Damn bro. You nail every fucking symptoms my truck has. Apreciated

Thank You; just saved me from a scam rebuild; for real !!!

My 04 g35 coue automatic is slipping from 2nd to 3rd only on (cold) starts.i changed the fluid but still has this issue.any thoughts on this issue?

Hi mate love the videos subbed. wonder if you can help me I have a 2006 Hyundai santa fe and was driving the other day when it sounded like it popped out of gear and into neutral. I pulled over and it wont drive forward but it will reverse no problem. there was no grinding or noise of anything breaking in the transmission so could it be the solenoid?? Edit: also it's an automatic but can be put into manual and when in manual I can select 1st and second but not 3rd 4th or 5th

Perfect thank you for your knowledge and experience

Had my 460le rebuilt with monster trans kit, the cooler installed line broke and I got it towed and replaced asap, 1 week later I get a CEL for stuck solenoid open. Could it be dirty fluid or something worse? Drives and shifts fine although I parked it since running this code. Only thing noticed is my 2nd gear shift kit isn't thumping into 2nd like it used before changing cooler and fluid

Is it possible to make the TV cable adjustment too many times? If so, what are the repercussions of doing that? I've been having issues, for about 6 months now, with my 94 XJ automatic shifting either too quick or too late, very erratic overall. I've replaced the TPS and have done this adjustment probably 20-25 times over the coarse of the last 6 mos. Yesterday, it started to not shift at all on the highway. I would press the gas and the RPMs would go up over 3000, but it would not accelerate and I had to coast it into a gas station. Went out and made the TV cable adjustment and then would crank, but not start. Repeated the adjustment 5-6 times and still wouldn't start. Unplugged the TPS and it started right up. Attempted to drive it the 5 miles home, with the TPS unplugged, but the same issue came up with it not shifting or accelerating. Is this what they call "limp mode"? Anyway, I pull over and plug the TPS back and try to start it and this time it started and mysteriously drove and shifted much better, although still not perfectly. Should I be looking at something in the transmission itself at this point? It's full of fluid and it's the stock AW4 tranny. Does any of this sound related to a neutral safety switch problem at all? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Nice, short and sweet

Thanks for sharing, VERY HELPFUL👍🏽💜

Woww. Very informative. Thank you

I just got my 2016 mustang gt back from ford bc I’m having transmission issues, I was told it’s skipping fourth gear, basically when I get to 25-30 mph the rpm flares up and if I let off the gas and let the rpm drop a little then get back on it then it will shift and drive fine, but if I try to get up to speed quickly it just won’t shift it seems to me although I don’t hold the gas very long in that situation bc I don’t want shoot the rpm’s through the roof while not gaining speed. Any clue to what this might be?

The best video on youtube regarding this topic

Great video from you man; I swap the engine and gear box of my Honda 1989 model in another body of 2001 model but since after the my Honda gear began to bang or kick and not changing to other gears what could be the most cause of this?

2003 Mazda Protege5 auto 126k miles On interstates at speed(70mph and above), if I hold these speeds for any length of time, car will slight rpm surge and downshift! Not comfortable at 75mph!!! Is this something possibly fixed by changing out solenoids and filter? Car drives completely fine in any other situation below these speeds.

I have a 1986 truck i shifts tru 1 2 3 but it struggles most of the times on 3 and fourth gear to change i replaced the oil amd the filter but still have the same problem

Thanks I believe I need more fluids and new solenoids for my Sentra and I should be good for a little while.

Really an explanatory video with detail , I’m experiencing a clunk noise almost 2 second after coming to a full stop , could it be torque converter ?

Are the soilds hard to replace, I have a 2004 H2 Hummer. Motor races between second and third gear. Sounds like the description you gave? . thank you, Richard

Thank you you are very helpful

Great Video

Hey, thanks for the video. If my truck shifts fine through the gears in Drive, but when i put it in reverse it lags and jobs into reverse if the RPMS increases. Could this be cause by a solenoid?? 2013 ram 2500 hemi Thanks

Thank you!

My 2001 Ranger automatic shifts great but refuses to drop into a passing gear when the pedal is pushed hard. Any thoughts? Tx

Thank you brother

I’ve got a 2014 Grand Cherokee, Symptom is limp home mode in cold temp ~ 25 deg F. Once I warm up the car, turn off and back on again the transmission works fine. Do you think this could just be that I need new fluid or an early sign of solenoid failure?

Wow this makes so much sense now

Thanks for the video - and subscribed! - I have a 2002 Chevy Avalanche that recently experienced tranny coolant line failure... it was gushing out and ran low on trans. fluid. It was while driving it (constantly refilling the fluid) that I lost 3rd gear. In Drive it shifts fine from 1st to 2nd but when it goes to shift into 3rd gear it winds out as though it was just shifted into Neutral. Since this event I changed out the trans cooling lines, but it still does the same thing with a full trans fluid level and no leaks. Is it possible, with this symptom, that a shift solenoid went bad, or did I without question, fry my steel/friction plates with the low trans fluid condition? Thanks very much. Tripp in Ithaca

Great information

Great video. So the transmission not shifting from drive to another gear including park will throw a code? 2008 versa stored for 2 years and when parked had no problems. Thanks.

This is a great video! I have a 2000 automatic Maxima and I was driving the car yesterday and all of a sudden it wouldn’t switch gears. So I turned off the car and turned it back on and it started driving normal for a couple of minutes then it started acting up again, then the check engine light came on. I was pricing transmissions until I came across your video so I hope it’s the solenoid. Thanks for the video and wish me luck

My nissan car when you drive cant exceed speed of 100, my transmission fluid is ok and on tge required level, but ecen if yiu press the gas pedal yo the bottom, doesnt exceed sich speed, what can be the problem? Kindly hep with ideas of how to fix.

How do you test the solenoids? Ohm meter? Im sure there's a video on that. I don't have time to mess with this so replacing the valve body altogether but would still like to test the solenoids on my current valve body for shits and giggles (and maybe to have a spare part)

Bro please help... my G5 don't shift from 3rd and above.... from 1st to 3rd gear works good... what can be???

i got a 97 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins my issue is that my 2nd gear doesn't shift properly could that be the governor solenoid?

Will the OBD2 Scanner you recommended display codes for transmission issues? When I shopped Scanners for transmissions they were priced much higher. Please advise. :)

Does the cvt Nissan Altima have this as well cause my car will only drive in first gear it won’t shift after that

How do I get my 2004 Chevy Silverado that's stuck in 3rd gear in limp mode to turn off.do I replaced the shift solenoids

Good to the point no ramble video.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4L AWD. Transmission shift out of second in Automatic but I can shift it manually bye moving the shift lever to the right. Need help.

my car shifts gears but revvs around 4-5k and doesn't shift until I let off my foot but then when I let go it stays om the same gear. any solutions?

I have a question ?? I have and acura tl 2006 and in 1st gear shifts with a skirk sound and in 3rd between 30 to 50mph the car shakes a lil bit but shifts normal what could b thanx in advance?

My 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S is throwing code P0746 line pressure solenoid A closed. Showing all symptoms in video.

Who’s having a remarkable day binge watching problems with transmission videos? Lol

Would it also cause a sound?

I have a 2019 hellcat, hoping for it to be the solenoid and the transmission, car starts right up every time I put it in drive the gear blanks and says it is not engaged put it back in park and put it in the desired gear. Even then there is no acceleration from the car regardless of reverse or shift paddles also you cannot push it in neutral. What do you think that is

So my 2012 chevy malibu ls 2.4, I drive every morning and it's good for a couple miles, all the gears shift and everything but after a little bit it'll only stay in 1st n 2nd gear???

I got a Ford Mustang V6 from the year 2010 and sometimes as I drive the gear just randomly shifts down and when I try to accelerate it won't go and I have to completely take my foot off the pedal for a little for my car to be able to pick up again, Any reasons for this?

I have VW Routan 2010 when I shift the gear to D engine shut off. is this related to shift solenoid ?

Great explanation!

Thank you! Perfectly explained. I believe this is my problem on our 2003 Lincoln Navigator. So bad, last week it had to be flat bedded home (rainy wet day). Engine light, Overdrive warning light, engine missing, Codes galore. Bad... A couple days later, I go out to start checking out what could be wrong, boom, Truck starts up, runs smooth, trans engages, and I drive it for a few miles with no issues. I am afraid to drive it far from home, in case the problem comes back. Any advice?

Hi, my Chevy Blazer 3.6 2020 has vibration, i think its from transmission, i shifted gearbox in L, when shifting from manually gear box cannot shift in 3 gear. can you advice me what to do?

I have these symptoms with my Honda Civic LX The mechanic says it's code is PO730. Would this video be for that code as well??

So I have a 2002 Silverado 1500 and when it shifts into second it’ll like jerk it I’ve been meaning to check the fluid but could the solenoid cause that??

My 2002 Ford Taurus o have this problem. Thanks!

Awesome 👍🏾

Hi! How are you? I have a problem with my ram 5.7 2016 with automatic gearbox. The problem is that when the truck need to put the 5th gear the revolutions going up but the gear is not into. Is like you press the clutch in a manual car and accelerate. I changed the valves box and also the solenoides for the another model but the same piece, because my ram has an grey connector and I puted a green one. Thanks so much 😁

my friend has a 1.4 clio and it drive good in local streets with 3 gears no problem but as soon they get on highway no 4th gear.Can a gearbox oil service fix this if a service hasn't been done for a while?

would this cause very slight jerking back and forth when cruising at a constant speed

Thank you

*Has there been any* *ReCALLS on* *2000 v6 Honda Accord* *Transmission*

I have a 2012 challanger and want to know why I get a kick when I let off the brake sometimes and when the car is not warm enough it the mornings the gears be taking for ever to change is that a transmission problem ??

Ok in my 05 trailblazer there is 2 solenoid 1-2 2-3 or 3-4 not sure but there's 2 my truck shifts 1-2 but no 3-4 , my question is is which solenoid is the bad one? How do I tell the 1-2 from the 3-4? They look exactly the same?

Thank you! My 2013 Honda Civic started experiencing all of these symptoms suddenly today. I was freaking out that my transmission was totally shot, or on the way to being totally shot. I’m curious how much money this is gonna cost me to repair?
