You are the best! 240,000 miles and the trans started to shift hard 1-2 and 3-4 immediately after I let vehicle sit for a 3 week vacation. went to multiple "reputable" trans shops, $2800-3200 for rebuilds. did exactly as you said and the trans works perfectly. if I can get your info I would gladly buy you a steak dinner. Thanks Mike
Would just like to add that this video is right on the money. I took my element to a transmission shop and was told I needed a new transmission. I fixed the shifting problems for less than $100 by switching the solenoids as recommended in this video. Can't thank you enough!
I replace the dual solenoid last year on a CRV I picked up "needing a trans", the person I bought the car from had an independent transmission shop and local Honda dealer tell them it needed a rebuild. The issue this car had was between 1st and 2nd gear the transmission would slip coming out of 1st and slam into second. The solenoid was just as shown in this video. I ended up buying an aftermarket solenoid and the car shifted perfectly, I was very happy. I wish this video was available last year (I looked everywhere before just getting down to business to figure it out myself)! Great work explaining.. I should have pulled a solenoid from a pick and pull yard!
Wow I’m sitting in my car right now thanking god for this video I’ve been stressing for a week and they told me the samething I would need a new one. This video saved my life
Dang, your advice sounds perfect. Having the same experience all around. Got mine for 500 with 180 to 190 thousand miles same issues... thanks for the video. I thought I was screwed.
I’m having the same problem with my CR-V 04 but my has 249,000 miles it may be that is really old but I will try it ASAP, first time someone explain exactly what I need (I’m going to subscribe to your channel right now 💯)
Just did this jib today... ran the car and perfect... gasket was broken (c solinoid=2 to 3)... sprayed mas spray on it with 12 v and on and off to clean.. also changed the rubers on all little sticks.. thank you for this video
Thanks for your insight. Solved my issue. Great that guys like you share your knowledge to help others and take the time to record and explain @ no cost to me. Simply awesome. Keep it up! Thanks Again!!
Thanks I went to 2 mechanics and one told me it could be a solenoid or the transmission and would need a rebuild… he said to drive it till it breaks down. Didn’t sit well with me. Went to another mechanic and he told me he couldn’t fix it because he didn’t have a transmission key and the previous mechanic erased the codes. So now I’m scrambling to figure it out and know the terminology to be able to understand may be happening. This is helpful now to find an honest mechanic that want to do the work.
I want to say thank you for that video I was able to replace both solenoids, unfortunately I could not get them from a salvage yard, and I did not want to spend $900.00 dollars from Honda, I purchased the solenoids from Amazon $178.00 for Both. Shifting problems are fixed, thank you.
Awesome video, very explanatory, you should do more on other topics...Marco, junkyard parts has nothing wrong, I have found treasures for my 2003 Element that would cost me way more money at the dealer. Be positive !! He went to the 2 shops to have 2nd a3rd opinions...Be kind!!!
