I really thought this repair was out of my league until I watched both of these videos. You are an absolute lifesaver and I got this repair done in a day by myself because of your help. Thank you so much!
Watched this 3 years ago and now am going to do my wife's 2016 caravan, it has 160 km on the clock. Thanks for giving me the details for such a job. It will save 500 or more $$$$.
Many thanks and much appreciation for the time you spent with the solenoid pack replacement videos. Your videos were clear and concise. I encountered a solenoid failure on my VW Routan and was able to follow and understand the process through your videos. Note: I also bought the e-service and repair manuals, but I would have struggled if I only had them to depend on for the necessary information. Funny note: I bought a [cheap] small clicker torque wrench to measure the necessary torque for the bolts. It seemed to work for the solenoid pack bolts, but when I went to torque the valve body to the transmission, I felt that something was wrong. I took the wrench to the vice and it would not click, even on 0 inch lbs. Ended up using manual torque method. I tested one of the bolts when I removed it to get an idea how much they were torqued. All is working well. Hope it lasts (with the manual torqueing of the valve body bolts).
Picked up a 2012 Caravan for $400 because transmission shop said it needed a whole new tranny ($3800). Scrap price was $200 so I gave them $400. $145 solenoid pack and these 2 videos later and it's my wife's daily driver. Best repair videos I've ever used. Thank you.
@@Bama-ip3jmI have the same issue that I’m dealing with right now. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours? I get reverse after revving for a while but, drive gets me nowhere.
One of the best instructional videos I've run across! I have this transmission on my 2010 VW Routan (built by Chrysler), and I'll be tackling this job soon. This repair job couldn't have been explained any better!
@@angryw4nderer The main symptom is the transmission gets stuck in 2nd gear. It won't shift down to 1st when you stop; it won't shift up either. I found that the problem will usually clear by 1) stop the car, put it in park, and turn off the engine, 2) Start the car, put it in reverse, and back up a few feet, 3) shift back to drive, and it usually works ok then. Now this has only happened maybe 4 times since I bought the car in 2010, but it's happened twice in the last 2-3 months. My code reader tells me that Solenoid "D" is defective. Seems that "D" is just one of the solenoids in the solenoid pack, and replacing the whole pack is what's needed. I've not had the problem a month or so now, so I'm holding my breath that it will be ok, but if it starts to become a real issue, then I'll be replacing the solenoid pack.
You are the MAN ! ! ! ! ! One of the BEST And (RARE), THOROUGH, VERY SPECIFIC, DETAILED, & VERY INFORMATIVE MECHANICS AROUND ! Also very Clean ! Thank You !
I wish TH-cam would get rid off all the stupid chaotic non professional videos and would keep only those like MotorCity Mechanic. Thank you so much for this video. It is very professional, showing all the details, explaining every step like the way so I end up having no additional questions, because it is all said in the video. Best job on TH-cam. michael
I know your pain….when I liking for something I usually have to go thru 8-10 videos until I finally/hopefully find the one that covers what I’m looking for. Thanks for the very kind words!
You are the best car repair TH-camr by far! If anyone is interested here are the part numbers for the blue o-rings and 2/4 clutch seal: 2/4 Clutch seal: 5078864AA O-ring : 6508636AA - You need 6 of them
I just want to thank you for your videos. I'm working my son's 2010 Avenger and this video saved me. I'm using the amazon link you said to use. You and SouthMainAuto are my two favorite channels. Yall are both really sharp and informative. Thanks again!
a good tec showing Chrysler repairs being done right should soon have a million subscribers especially as explicit as you show it. Carry on captain and stay safe
Many thanks. I wish it was that easy. I will be hitting 100,000 in the next month or so which is a big accomplishment for me and that will suffice lol.....for now. Thanks Brian for the comment.
Thank you for your detailed video. My wife's car (Chrysler Voyager, 3.8l, 200.000km, built in 2010) shows the error P0765. This and other videos gave me the courage to repair it myself. It saved me several thousand euros. Thanks from Germany
I have been a full time time wrench for 35 yrs , you do a great job on your videos , I find them easy to under stand ,thank you . I printed the page for ohming 62te, HUGE HELP, thanks again
Thank you for this video! I didn’t think I was capable of completing this repair, but you did such a thorough job explaining every step. Great job brother!!!
I have been working on vehicles for over 40 years and I think the video was very defined in detail. I was just trying to find the torque spects valve body so I watched both videos and you gave define instructions and I would definitely watch another video if I need help with some other vehicles thanks for keeping me interested and informed about the little things people take for granted. I’m going to have the customer watch these two videos so he can understand what it takes to do the job
This was a high end excellent quality video. Thank you for taking the time to explain in such detail. And also showing the correct way to do this job. Including the torque specs and other miscellaneous tips and tricks. There is a lot of little parts and pieces and taking the time to do the job right the first time with something like this is of the utmost importance. Subscribed!
Thanks for the videos. I have replaced both the valve body and solenoid pack on my 2015 Caravan (the DC solenoid was bad). However, once I got it back together, the gear shifter would not move at all. I pushed the release just above the gear shifter and it would then move, although it was hard to do so. According to the indicator on the dash, I was able to get it to move from park to reverse to neutral, and back to park again. However, when the gear shifter was all the way at the bottom where drive should be, the indicator on the dash said that the transmission was in neutral. Therefore, it seems that the gear shifter and the transmission range sensor are no longer in sync. When I re-watched your video, I noticed that the position that you moved the range sensor to when you reinstalled it was different from the position that I recalled my range sensor to be in, so I took the valve body cover off again to check out the range sensor. However, I can't get it to move to the position that you put yours in (presumably because yours was not connected to the transmission cable). I didn't disconnect or move the cable on top of the transmission, so I don't think that would be the problem. So, my question is: does the position that you moved your trans range sensor to correspond to park? (Mine is currently in the farthest slot to the right, and it looked like you moved yours two places to the left from that farthest-right slot.) If I am supposed to move my range sensor two places to the left, would I need to disconnect the cable on top of the trans in order to do so? Thanks for your help. It is very much appreciated.
Love your video. Very detail oriented and had everything I needed. I hope I don’t need to use your videos in the future but glad to know you’re out there helping everybody.
I wished I had not paused the part one video. I made a few errors removing the components. I actually did break the one solenoid connection 😂😂. Long story short, I removed the torx bolts as well and realized after watching part 1 I did not need to do that. I would have save myself some frustration. Part 1 and 2 are extremely helpful. Enthusiastic two thumps up! I appreciate the video and guys like MotorCity Mechanic!!
Thanks, David. I appreciate not waiting days or weeks for part 2! I've heard of the issues caused by too much RTV in the bolt holes, but I've never actually seen it. I'll take your word for it!
The "circle" from the head of the bolt is called a "Witness Mark". Your videos are really professional and have made this a simple job, Thank you for doing these.
Again thank you for the video, I needed this since I was getting stuck with the tubes now I know need to do from bottom and tubes in first... but on the vehicle not an easy job with blown out back, and trans fluid all over, since all was changed before filter trans fluid and gasket, but thank you again.. I will watch this over and over to make sure all is done....
Thanks for the info on this valve body. I'm a ASE L1 Master tech but not a trannys guy. Just watching you and listing to you you know what you are doing. Thanks again.
you deserve 1,000,000 view you a great mechanic instructor and well explain this could be my next journey on my mind. thanks! A+ the best video ever...
Thanks so much for the detailed diag and repair videos. Not sure if this will help anyone , but after replacing the solenoid pack on my 2017 Grand Caravan ( solenoid H open circuit ) it still wouldnt upshift . I took both battery cables off the battery , joined them together for 2 hours ( longer is better) , reconnected everything and now works fine
David - do a quick video about the fill. You guys use a tool, but I use one of those giant 3 foot white plastic zip ties as a dipstick since the pink fluid shows up against it, and the teeth hold the fluid, and I just use “fully hot, in neutral, 2” on the stick”.
I've found out that if you lightly mark the bolt heads (when you are reinstalling ) ,with a white paint like you use for white wall tires , this will eliminate the possibility of missing on tightening one of the bolts. I just dab them with a white dot after torquing the bolts . When you have 20 bolts to torque, sometimes you could miss one, and that would be catastrophic. Just a suggestion.
Wow, I cannot thank you enough for posting this detailed video. My husband was able to follow along and fix our 2014 dodge caravan that was reading code P0755. Your video saved us a huge repair bill. Many, many thanks to you! ❤
Codes i was getting was. P083b, p0863, p,0733, P0734, and P0729. I am by no means a a novice. Changed out the trans fluid, filter, trans oil pressure switch, and I went ahead and changed out the solenoid. Did the quick learn with my scan tool. None of the codes came back. However, whenever I drive it feels as if the transmission won’t go in to second gear or any other gears besides the first.
This was a life saver followed instructions and it went pretty good just had a little trouble with the three tubes but I got them and was able to finish with out any problems.big thanks.
Great videos man. I'm replacing the Torque Converter Lock-Up solenoid this week (Routan stalls immediately when put into drive, throwing Code P2763) so your video made it really clear what I must do to get in there and replace it. Heck, it even made me consider replacing the solenoid pack while I'm in there just for good measure. Filter and fluid change at same time. Thanks a lot!
Your video is excellent you might want to add that there are 2 other sensors that should be replaced when replacing the solenoid pack - I had to go back and replace the transmission fluid pressure sensor because i got a code P084A - transmission still wouldn't shift from lower gears until I did - to be on the safe side I replaced both sensors O rings and oil seal - better safe than sorry ; )
Thank you so much. Your video has really helped me understand what to expect what's inside these transmission solenoid pad. I am in limp mode town and country 09 and will not even shift giving a code p0736 incorrect gear ratio.
Here is the elephant in the room:This transmission was designed for a K car! Over the years it has been used in in vans and cars that have grown i weight and power with very little improvement, The same basic design was made for 100 to 150 HP and under 3000 pounds. Heat is the enemy and the only tangible change the average owner can help. Heavy duty cooling radiator plus a towing trans cooler will help. Same with the over stressed brakes (over loaded with little or no improvement.
How difficult is this to do with trans still in a 2011 Caravan? Be honest! Oh , it's stuck in first gear and just happened today! Glad I found this video! Thanks !
hello, thank you for your details videos. Do we need to remove the solenoid pack to remove the range selector. Do we need to remove the transmission pan at the bottom also. Thank you again.
excellent content... I just bought a 180,000 2012 town and country with a "slipping" trans. Assuming this is it, plus we're changing fluid/ filter. Any other considerations we need to make while we have it apart?
I wish I would have found this 24 hours ago!! 😅 Unbelievably detailed!! Thank you so much!! I mishandled the metal gasket plate on the valve body and it came off briefly. I’m concerned I may have lost a check ball (if that’s the right term). I have 3 and it looks like it may need 4. Any feedback? I’ve tried to find a clear diagram to no avail.
Great video along with part 1! Thank you so much but I seem to be having an issue. At 2:40 that piece won’t click and it seems to come out. I don’t think that should be a strength thing so I’m not sure why I don’t hear a click nor lock it in place. Any ideas? Thanks!
If the valve body goes in and sit flush dose that mean the 3 tubes are in and in place or can you miss them and still be flush? All your videos have been really helpful thanks for your time and help.
Thanks for the best videos! Quick question, Any special steps to replace the solenoid if the white connector breaks? And since we are already there, should I also replace the fluid pressure sensor? Once again, Thanks!
Just for other people who come across this, I'm working on a customer's Van and it too was the DC Solenoid (Pins 10-20) Mine came back with 5.5Ohms resistance. I had Error codes: P076A - Powertrain P2807 Powertrain Pressure Control Solenoid G
Motor city mechanic Super Great instructional info especially with the tips on how not to damage the shaft pin while removing the solenoid with mounting plate. I might have got a bad solenoid block because the car feels like its barely catching the gears. Put it in manual mode and indicates 4th and 5th gear but it don't engage could I have torqued it wrong or bad solrnoid pack? Please some one respond ASAP.
Hi, that's a great tutorial. What are the specs of the o-rings that are recommended to exchange? ...and one other piece that you pointed to? I'd appreciate some link for purchase. Best regards, Rafal
Would a trans solenoid cause 2007 chyr pacifica to basically lockup motor when put in drive. Rev is fine. Motor runs great in idle. Thanks for any input. You are a great teacher.
Yes, the little solenoid in the video, with the troublesome white connector, located above the solenoid pack which this video was showing how to replace (at least on the Routan/Town and Country/Caravan. Check out this link for more info: www.volkswagenownersclub.com/threads/2009-routan-3-8l-stalls-when-put-in-drive.85337/
Hello, just did a trans swap and solenoid pack, and am now not getting crank. I was wonding if it matters on the range sensor if it is in a certain position? I moved the selector all the way forward to park, and bolted the detent down. Pin slid all the way to the right in the slot. Thank you!
@@MotorCityMechanic good morning sir im trying to replace the shift solenoid on 2017 Chrysler town and country and I accidentally remove the plate on the back of the solenoid and there 3 marbles that came off and i dont know where to put it back
Thanks for the info on this valve body, I'm buying a new one and the seller is warning me that I'll need to reprogram it with the WiTech software, is this true?

hello, thank you for your details videos. Do we need to remove the solenoid pack to remove the range selector. Do we need to remove the transmission pan at the bottom also. Thank you again.
Thank You bro! Did you do a video how to change torque converter on them?
excellent content... I just bought a 180,000 2012 town and country with a "slipping" trans. Assuming this is it, plus we're changing fluid/ filter. Any other considerations we need to make while we have it apart?
Were you able to solve you "slippage" or was it a delayed shift or hard shift sometimes like mine?
@@angryw4nderer it worked great while I had it with no issues
Great Job! Very helpful, thanks a lot.
Your welcome and thanks for taking the time to watch
Thanks alot for these very detailed videos help me alot.
I wish I would have found this 24 hours ago!! 😅 Unbelievably detailed!! Thank you so much!!
I mishandled the metal gasket plate on the valve body and it came off briefly. I’m concerned I may have lost a check ball (if that’s the right term). I have 3 and it looks like it may need 4. Any feedback? I’ve tried to find a clear diagram to no avail.
Fantastic series! You got me back on the road. thank you for being so detailed, it made all the difference.
...I totally broke both snaps 😋
Many thanks and glad it worked out. Always happy to help.
Great video along with part 1! Thank you so much but I seem to be having an issue. At 2:40 that piece won’t click and it seems to come out. I don’t think that should be a strength thing so I’m not sure why I don’t hear a click nor lock it in place. Any ideas? Thanks!
Thanks for the videos ,they made my life much easier!!
Nice clean work. Great teacher.
If the valve body goes in and sit flush dose that mean the 3 tubes are in and in place or can you miss them and still be flush? All your videos have been really helpful thanks for your time and help.
If flush then tubes and orings are seated. Thanks for watching
Great detailed helpful information video thanks for posting
Phenomenal work and explanation. Thank you for your help on this.

I did all this it a great video I'm just wondering wat I done wrong it madey situation worse now it will not shift silonoid
Thanks for the best videos!
Quick question,
Any special steps to replace the solenoid if the white connector breaks?
And since we are already there, should I also replace the fluid pressure sensor?
Once again,
Thanks!
Thank you for the help awesome explaining what to look for
Great !! But I can not find the 2 4 clutch oil seal ?
Just for other people who come across this, I'm working on a customer's Van and it too was the DC Solenoid (Pins 10-20)
Mine came back with 5.5Ohms resistance.
I had Error codes:
P076A - Powertrain
P2807 Powertrain Pressure Control Solenoid G
Motor city mechanic Super Great instructional info especially with the tips on how not to damage the shaft pin while removing the solenoid with mounting plate. I might have got a bad solenoid block because the car feels like its barely catching the gears. Put it in manual mode and indicates 4th and 5th gear but it don't engage could I have torqued it wrong or bad solrnoid pack? Please some one respond ASAP.
Hi, that's a great tutorial. What are the specs of the o-rings that are recommended to exchange? ...and one other piece that you pointed to? I'd appreciate some link for purchase. Best regards, Rafal
Would a trans solenoid cause 2007 chyr pacifica to basically lockup motor when put in drive. Rev is fine. Motor runs great in idle. Thanks for any input. You are a great teacher.
Yes, the little solenoid in the video, with the troublesome white connector, located above the solenoid pack which this video was showing how to replace (at least on the Routan/Town and Country/Caravan. Check out this link for more info: www.volkswagenownersclub.com/threads/2009-routan-3-8l-stalls-when-put-in-drive.85337/
Hello, just did a trans swap and solenoid pack, and am now not getting crank. I was wonding if it matters on the range sensor if it is in a certain position? I moved the selector all the way forward to park, and bolted the detent down. Pin slid all the way to the right in the slot. Thank you!
Hey I recently changed my pack, the van runs but can’t seem to get it to move when I put it in gear. What could be my problem?
I have the same issue any ideas
your videos are absolutely amazing, Tyou!!!!
Great Work mate. Very informative and clear. You'd make a great teacher for apprentice mechanics if you aren't already. 😎
totally impressed and subscribed and I haven't even bought my minivan yet lol
Thanks Keith! Appreciate the kind words
@@MotorCityMechanic good morning sir im trying to replace the shift solenoid on 2017 Chrysler town and country and I accidentally remove the plate on the back of the solenoid and there 3 marbles that came off and i dont know where to put it back
Do you have another video on how to change the oil filter?
Very informative video! Thank you!
Thanks for the info on this valve body, I'm buying a new one and the seller is warning me that I'll need to reprogram it with the WiTech software, is this true?
good work..one thing you mentioned ft/lbs and in/lbs did you misspeak?
You're the real MVP!
Very informative video david great work
Many thanks Antonio!
