This video is extremely helpful, I'm glad I found it even though it's several years old. I just replaced a set of these solenoids in my 2006 Mini cooper transmission with a new set from a reputable company, and my trans shifts worse than it did with the old parts. I was told that the solenoids were calibrated to match the ones in the trans when it was new. Now almost every gear flares/slips badly and bangs at times. I've been in contact with the company where I purchased the solenoids from and he has suggested I make some adjustments on the valve body. I'm planning on making the adjustments within the next few days and the car can not be driven until I try the adjustments. I wasn't sure what the adjustments were supposed to do to help my issues so I decided to look for some additional information and came across this video. Watching this has now given me a much better understanding of how the solenoids work and what the adjustments are supposed to do. If I can't get satisfactory shifts from the new solenoids I'm going to see if I can repair my old ones. Thanks for a great video.
Congratulations. I have been in and out of the vehicle industry for 30 years. Never seen this method of repair implemented. Good work. ASE Master Technician, GM trained, Toyota certified, ASE L1, 4 years college education focus in auto technology. Never seen anyone rebuild solenoids. If the electrical coils check out good with continuity then then rebuilding a OEM solenoid applies as valid repair that potentially deems high quality providing the coil has no damage. Solenoid could span the same length of time again going forward.
Hi, After watching this I decided to attempt this repair on my 2006 VW Beetle with the 09G transmission. Which had very hard shit 3-4 and 4-5 onboth up and down shifts, with very harsh engagement into drive and reverse, When cold the shifts were all good. I removed the solenoids one by one, opened the cans backside of the can by cutting slots and bending the rear of the can to remove the plunger. I used a 4mm drill bit to clean the bushings and reassembled the cans with a small hammer. After assembly I cleared all DTC codes and did a varied drive through a mixture of urban streets with lots of start stop and a run along a main road with varied speed restrictions. After approx 40 km all shift problems have been solved, for the price of 5 liters of fluid. Thanks for the insight, this saved me NZ$ 2,400.
Hiram! its really hard to find Auto Men like you. I admire your patience and dedication and knowledge and skill. A born mechanic. No substitute for natural aptitude.Thanks for confirming some of my own concepts on automobiles and transmissions. Excellent advice and the video is valuable to us non-mechanics as well. it enlightens us to what you guys have to do to fix some of this over complicated machinery and gets our respect.I do think that in 5 years we are going to be moving toward just driving the new cars 50,000 miles and trading them in and the values on used cars will go down do to repair costs.
I know this video is several years old, but it is really great. I enjoy watching all of your many videos. They are detailed and cover really interesting topics in great detail. Thanks!
I was able to get the exact same kit shown in this video from a company named Autottec, the kit number is K599778. It's labeled AW & 09G Solenoid repair tool kit. I ordered it off Ebay for $312 delivered. I measured the diameter of the shaft that goes up the center of the coil and it was .154. I found that a #20 drill (.160) fit perfectly in the coil bushings and when I turned the drill by hand it had a grey substance in the drill flute. When it was put on a white shop towel and smoothed with my finger it dissolved and turned into a greasy smudge. There were no traces of the brass bushing in it at all. The #20 drill cleaned out the bushings really nice. I inserted it in both directions and gave it several turns, just like the video. I cleaned all the parts with ether starting fluid because that was all I had available. Worked great! I have a lift so I had the car up. I didn't want to totally remove the valve body because I wanted to do each solenoid separately, one at a time. That way I could only disconnect one plug at a time. I removed all the mounting bolts and took 2 of the longer bolts and screwed them in a few turns in 2 corners. That way the whole valve assembly can drop down about an inch and all the solenoids can be removed, in my case, one at a time. I took a small jewelers flat blade screwdriver and inserted into the wire side of the connector in the center, gently pried up to release the tab and then the blade of the screwdriver would dig into the plug and push it back. Worked perfectly on all 6 of the plugs. The small pin holding the solenoid in will drop out easily if you wiggle the solenoid. On one solenoid I had to gently tap the back of the solenoid to get the pin out. Make sure you have something under the valve body to catch the pins when they drop out.
Hey Tom, you sound as though you have had much success. I am planning on running down the same road with my 09g in my Q7. Do you know if your kit is for the large or small solenoids…? I see there are different kits now available on EBay and none listed in your description. I presume the solenoids would be ‘large’. Thanks again. Tony from NZ.
I have this kit in my wish list just in case, my solenoids on my VB are small and they have chamfer in the back. I don't know if this kit I will do the job or not. Anyway, I'm putting a cleaner on transmission fluid and the result it is very satisfactory. I don't think the cleaner will do a instant miracle but I have seen that the car is shifting better every week. It is probably a long process. I'm waiting certain amount of miles to see if the solenoids will need a manual clean o not.
Hi Hiram, I just wanted to update you on the SINS Solenoids. I have repaired a few o9g's as well, I decided to purchase these Sins Solenoids as well to save time and I have the exact same problems you had as well. I finally decided to adjust the solenoids. I turned the B1 adjuster 1.2 turns clockwise for more pressure and the k3 adjuster a little more then half a turn. The transmission works great now all the shift problems are gone.
Salut Hiram, j'espère que tu comprendra mon message, tu déchire grave sérieux, méthodique et rigoureux. J'ai appris beaucoup grâce à tes vidéo. Merci de la France. Continuez comme vous le faite.
You are a car angel!!! You saved a lot of people headache and all the cars that you have fixed all the issues!!! Thank you so much for your passion!!! I wish all your dreams come true!!!👍👌😃😄❤️
I have watched some of your videos, you present things well and I have come to really respect you for what you say, I can't say that for many men...well done ... you deserve the accolade 👍🏻
thanks uncle for your knowledge and input about solenoids this was a very great video to watch. it was nice to watch a machanic go through the details like you did very well spoken i give you 10 out ot 10 for everything about this video
another great video! can't wait for the lectures. Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this video. I never knew those came apart. Love you work ethic man. Thanks again. Take care.
Olha amigo, trabalho com transmissão aqui no Brasil e nossos recursos são bem limitados e dificil acesso a materais tecnicos e videos como os seus nos ajudam muito, só tenho a agradecer pois nos dão uma vrande ajuda...tal como esse de fazer reparos nos solenoids. Valeu forte abraço 👍
Thanks for posting, Hiram! I sent you a message about working an 09G about a month ago, and I went with a VBX rebuilt vb because they fix the problem and offer lifetime warranty. Watching you tear these things apart has given me more confidence. I kind of wish I had a second chance on the repair so I could do it the way you did it. You have me wanting to hang onto the original vb, but core deposit was hefty. For anyone working on an 09G vb Sonax has a video about how to remove the connectors on the solenoids. They can be tricky, but easy with the small orange handle pick tools from harbor freight.
The drill bits you used to clean the bushings in the solenoids are from Trans Go shift kits intended to modify plates and valves in the body. I’m guessing it’s coincidental that you tried them and they happened to be the correct size for the bushings in the solenoids??? Vehicles that are metric do share the same measurements for many parts, but that almost seems too good to be able use the bits intended for different usage. Wow.
hello Hiram thank you for your video you know, its a big help for people having a VWand AUDI make,i know lot of people they happy that they learn how to rebuild the transmission solenoid,that you shown,,
So I bought a new solenoid kit I have yet to put on my truck (a 98 Ford F-150 4R70W transmission) but I ordered them online, its been having this lingering issue for a while where sometimes it refuses to shift from 1st to 2nd unless you let off or its warmed up. After it has shifted once its fine and all other gears will change no prob. Overdrive light did flash one time but it was two years ago. Its at 148k miles mostly highway. I have read that it could be a blown valve gasket but trying to see what else it could be. We have changed the filter and cleaned it fluid is still good and it has had a flush not to long ago done, and it never has slipped.
I love it when he hammered the shit out of it - lol. went to school w/ someone like Hiram very funny man. Once we used a dipstick to check if the battery had charge...oh it had charge alright. LOL. Very much appreciate the lessons man-
LeverPhile - the dipstick was fine ...but we got a dirty look from the shop teacher. He said - you know we have a load-tester. The bad part was other students were already in the process of doing the same thing after they saw us more ‘experienced’ students. LOL
Great video! Fantastic! I don’t see the listing for the tool to open the covers / canisters on the solenoids in your additional information written for the video. Could you reply with the tool brand and model and where to purchase?
I was expecting to see the ball seat and needle valve seat inside the solenoid being cleaned, but it shows just cleaning out the bore of the solenoid, curious, is there a method to clean the seats inside the solenoid once its taken apart. Excellent to see there is a tool to open up the solenoids, great work.
Hello Hiram i dont know if you will answer private message but i sent you one with queston on a trans.thank you. you sure make working on transmissions look so much fun and easy.
Hello Hiram This is great video you share with us.Thank you so much.I would like to know where may I get the tool (6:55min) you use for pulling a part solenoid please?may you share a link or you sell them?what is price for it please?
Hiram.. I have few quesions on Transmission. I am happy to donate to your account.. I asked this question to many but now answer. 1. how do you isolate valve body issue with mechanical issue with burned clutch. 2. when you rebuilt will you always rebuilt valve body.
hey Hiram, great stuff you post. I see a few people have asked about the solenoid removal/repair tool. what is it called and where can we get it. thanks in advance.
Thanks, your video is very helpful. I have a Rover Fastback (825 ) or in Europe it is called Rover Sterling with Jatco 4F 403E automatic transmission. Reverse gear is not working. After changing the ATF - I used Dexron 2, 1st gear is no longer working. Also I have added "Mecacy"l additive for Automatic Gearboxes. No effect. If you have the time, your advice or tips wold be very welcome.
Hi Hiram it's Rafiek I'm a diyer from sunny South Africa thanks for sharing such a very practical and informative video.The way in which you presented the video was excellent to to point.I never knew that these solenoids could be dismantled. On my Alfa Romeo it has a Asian AF 40-6speed automatic transmission when it's cold it changes excellent but as the transmission starts warming up I notice it's shifts are not smooth that's up and down shifts especially from park to reverse and from drive to park I get like a bang. Like I said when it's cold it drives like a dream even on the country side on long distance it's go well but whe coming into city or traffic it's starts to play up.From your experience do you think cleaning the solenoids could solve my problem can u please advise me.I did a oil flush twice already but it's was no different Secondly where can I purchase this tool. Thanking you I advance and be safe
Great video Hiram, A few people have asked about the size of the bit, but I have no seen an answer - can you please share that bit of information? Thanks
He did not ever mention the drill bit size but says it comes in the Transgo shift kit that he showed in the later part of the video. You can always measure the size of the pintel or armature shaft with a micrometer or calipers and get a bit slightly larger. It may be a standard fractional bit, or metric, or even a letter or number size. Refer to a comprehensive drill bit chart that will give you all the comparative sizes in decimal inches to determine which one will work best.
That fluid is very expensive. I am going to change the fluid in my Passat. I would like to get Ravenol fluid and give it a try. A lot of people say good things about that but not so much the factory WS fluid these cars had. WS is not the worst but a lot of people say it doesn't last long and that is not based only on the fluid turning black quickly either. My guess as to why it turns black easily is the dye. I have seen a sample of it turn purple in open air. Would the dye in WS be a moisture indicator? I only wonder because I read that it does absorb moisture similarly to brake fluid. That all by itself may be one reason why WS is so hated by many. My previous VW was a 2006 Jetta and it also had the 09G but used a T-IV fluid. Same color change but those fluids do seem to be very similar and that is especially since WS replaces T-IV in some cars.
Hi Hiram. I just replaced the solenoids on my 09G because the transmission was revving then going into gear causing it to bang hard. After the solenoid replacement it does not do this anymore but now it is flaring while upshifting and an ocasional rough downshift. I changed the fluid twice to get the old stuff out of there and reset the transmission with VCDS. The solenoid kit I bought did not come with the two very small solenoids only the six bigger solenoids. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks for the video Hiram.
This is not VW related, but my sister has 2012 Nissan Altima with the CVT trans. Shd got a P0746 code (pressure control solenoid A stuck off) I read that people replace the entire valve body to fix this code, but funds are not really there right now. Lost her job due to this Covid19... I found a solenoid repair kit for the valve body that comes with harness, solenoids, and stepper motor. If i purchase that, install it and replace fluid filter, do you think it will remedy the issue? Just want to buy her some more time. Car runs ok if you're not hard on it...Makes some roughness and noise when you press the accelerator hard. Thank you kindly! Enjoyed some of your other vids. The 4L60E vids def helped me! Cheers
Awesome video! Question... Currently I am having an issue on my 2014 Jetta 1.8T. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the car doens't move, just revs. It seems like every other gear seems to function just fine. The only fault code that currently comes up under the transmission is, "Pressure Control Solenoid C" P079500. I have done some looking up and it seems like it might be an internal problem with the transmission instead of the valve body. I guess my question is, would a new valve body solve my issue? I changed the oil and filter on the transmission and it didn't resolve the problem unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
This is some serious stuff here. :) Since you are professional, can you tell me is it possible to flash or reprogram 09K aisin transmission that are in VW euro models to make it change gears couple of hundred RPM later than in factory settings? In current form D setting is way too economical changing gears too early choking up the engine and S setting too sporty changing gears around 2000 rpm. Would be nice to be able to modify it somewhere in between.
Gutierrez I am glad to see this video about Solenoid. I have a 300 Chrysler 2012 just bought it 9,500 miles four months ago now the car has 13,800 miles I have problems wit it when you started from zero miles to 40 miles it picks up really slow unless you put the the foot hard to where the by passed comes on then it feels like taking off. I took to the Dodge Dealer in Napperville Illinois and They told me nothing is wrong with the transmission or the car I asked them if they will aloud me to drive one of their 2015 v6 Chrysler 300 and They refused to So I am now dissatisfied and disappointed with this car that Iam$ 41,000.. with big problems and Full Warranty But Dodge Dealer personal services they are Awfully Bad when Fixing a problem to their own cars. Gutierrez did You the problem with my Car could it be the Solenoid sensors what did suggest. just wondering if you may have on answer
We have tried SINS products ONE TIME, then we dropped them as the quality was very bad on the lot we received. We had same kind of problems or even worse when the bad solenoids burned the TCM. So when working with DSG at least I learned to stick to OEM !
HI dear I have a blazer 2008. I have a problem with the gearbox as in the scan. But I have the shifts moving properly without any problems. One of the workshops says the gearbox must be packed. The other says there is no problem with the gearbox. What do you think work? The examination is TMC PO741 sYMPTOM 00 TORQYE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) SYSTEM -STUCK OFF LAST TEST : FAILD / CURRENT THIS IGNITION : NOT RUN MIL REQUESTED FAILED HISTORY 1 / 1 Note: When moving from a parking position to a walking position, I feel a slight tremor in the car
engineer question which solenoid influences to blow in direct? 09g valves, the box was already repaired and the selenoid bushings were changed and a direct blow follows
i have a 2006 wv passat 2.0T auto..the transmission work fine until the engine heat up...then its really bad, slipping gears,...harsh downshifts...its alfull..can i fix in that way?
Hiram, ¡Excelente video!, ¿podrias proporcionarme el website de USA para poder comprar la herramienta para desarmar y armar los solenoides? ... Felicitaciones por tus videos que nos compartes.
Hiram, Thanks very much for your videos. I've watched all of the 09G videos more than once. I've just bought an 2006 jetta and i'm having these problems. I have a local Transmission shop that told me that the reman'd valve bodies and the transgo kits fail and can cause more damage. Do you check back with the people that drive these vehicles that you work on? I'm wondering if that is true. Thanks again.
Hi Hiram first of all your videos are awesome thanks you, but I have a question ... I got a Jetta 2004 1.8t with a 09A. My question is do u know any way to try the selenoids or clean those? This valve body has 9 selenoids thanks
Where can I get the sleeve tools that you used to take apart the solenoids. My solenoids on my Camry looks very similar to what you are working on here.
awesome video, thanks , we have a mazda 3 with 180,000 miles , when you first start car in morning it wont go into drive,have to wait for it to get into operating temperature for the trans to shift into drive,after that it works great... any sugestions? ,thanks
When changing the solenoids on a 04 maxima should a valve body kit be installed? I watched your video when you where fixing the maxima that was hard shifting and didint remember if you said you always put a shift kit in.. Can you try and answer that? Please
Hiram tengo un problema con una honda element 04 automatic la compre con la trans que cuando se calienta como 3min coriendo se queda en neutro en todos los cambios. La desmonte y le encontre una linea rota en el cuerpo de valvulas, dije bueno creo que aye el prob. La reconstrui con todo nuevo incluyendo la linea rota, le puse el conv. nuevo tambien y sigue con el mismo probl. por favor que crees que esta pasando. Me encatantan tus videos y tu sabiduria que demuestras, confio y respeto tu opinion. Por favor necesito tu opnion. Que Dios te bendiga mucho mas.
Great video can I do this on a R50 mini It’s stuck in first gear. Dealer did the Adaptation I have an X before each gear still not getting out of first any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
Great tutorials Hiram, Just about to tear down my 2004 golf 1.6 6 speed tiptronic , im guessing the solenoids are the problem as it jumps, rough changes after up to temp . You Vids have given me some excellent insight into procedures, thanks a lot !
+Maic Salazar We have the tool kit on our website , we also stock other items for these solenoid repairs. that tool kit works on 5 Speed and 6 Speed Automatics - 09D / TF60SN , 09D / TR60SN , AW55-50 , AW55-51SN , TF80 , and TF81SC Models. Cascade Transmission Parts period come , then go to tools tab - we do have more than shown hit the contact us link hope this helps
will a solenoid also make any sound? But sometimes me got in to second gear little hard in a chevy 4L60-E. With the sound . Going into drive or revers make sound. (park) and (neutral) don't make sound. should I put a torque converter. thank you for taking he time of read this and may help me
I got a 2005 beetle and im have the valve body with solenoids replaced soon it gets warm and I have a really nasty 1-2 and 2-3 shift it slams hard enough it chirped the tires once. Then it down shifts it does it down on same gears. If that dont fix it im try this ( might even if it does fix it )
thanks, Hiram, on a "04 Honda Odyssey, do you think removing the solenoids and cleaning them would repair it? I don't even know if I can get them out , perhaps I don't need to do them all but I don't know which one is causing the problem (when it gets hot it definitely has trouble shifting) and the shifter on the steering column will move into the lower drive gears. thanks, again

Greeting from kuwait 🇰🇼
Great Video .
Great experience .
A lots of information .
Thank you .
Great idea,to show your viewers first hand the problems that buying online can cause.
hello Hiram thank you for your video you know, its a big help for people having a VWand AUDI make,i know lot of people they happy that they learn how to rebuild the transmission solenoid,that you shown,,
So I bought a new solenoid kit I have yet to put on my truck (a 98 Ford F-150 4R70W transmission) but I ordered them online, its been having this lingering issue for a while where sometimes it refuses to shift from 1st to 2nd unless you let off or its warmed up. After it has shifted once its fine and all other gears will change no prob. Overdrive light did flash one time but it was two years ago. Its at 148k miles mostly highway. I have read that it could be a blown valve gasket but trying to see what else it could be. We have changed the filter and cleaned it fluid is still good and it has had a flush not to long ago done, and it never has slipped.
I love it when he hammered the shit out of it - lol. went to school w/ someone like Hiram very funny man. Once we used a dipstick to check if the battery had charge...oh it had charge alright. LOL. Very much appreciate the lessons man-
Lol ... did you need a new dipstick after that ... test?
LeverPhile - the dipstick was fine ...but we got a dirty look from the shop teacher. He said - you know we have a load-tester. The bad part was other students were already in the process of doing the same thing after they saw us more ‘experienced’ students. LOL
another great video! can't wait for the lectures.
Very good video, easy to folow& understand. Great!thank you Hiram Gutierrez
Great video! Fantastic! I don’t see the listing for the tool to open the covers / canisters on the solenoids in your additional information written for the video.
Could you reply with the tool brand and model and where to purchase?
Does the tool set work generically for different manufacturers and models of different solenoids?
I was expecting to see the ball seat and needle valve seat inside the solenoid being cleaned, but it shows just cleaning out the bore of the solenoid, curious, is there a method to clean the seats inside the solenoid once its taken apart.
Excellent to see there is a tool to open up the solenoids, great work.
love your work and great positive attitude!
Thank you so much for your educational Videos.
Good Job.
On point, I need that tool for 2011 6T45 solenoids. . Who can I contact.. ? 👍 Thank-you in a huge way
Thanks Hiram, excellent video again!
where can I get the tool you use on the solenoids? interesting video
I would like to purchase the tool for the solenoid where can I get it
Thanking to you from Singapore.
Hello Hiram i dont know if you will answer private message but i sent you one with queston on a trans.thank you.

Hello Hiram
This is great video you share with us.Thank you so much.I would like to know where may I get the tool (6:55min) you use for pulling a part solenoid please?may you share a link or you sell them?what is price for it please?
I’d learned something from you thank you so much boss!!
Hiram.. I have few quesions on Transmission. I am happy to donate to your account..
I asked this question to many but now answer.
1. how do you isolate valve body issue with mechanical issue with burned clutch.
2. when you rebuilt will you always rebuilt valve body.
hey Hiram, great stuff you post. I see a few people have asked about the solenoid removal/repair tool. what is it called and where can we get it. thanks in advance.
Thanks, your video is very helpful.
I have a Rover Fastback (825 ) or in Europe it is called Rover Sterling with Jatco 4F 403E automatic transmission. Reverse gear is not working. After changing the ATF - I used Dexron 2, 1st gear is no longer working. Also I have added "Mecacy"l additive for Automatic Gearboxes. No effect. If you have the time, your advice or tips wold be very welcome.
gracias por el video Hiram aprendi mucho. te felicito trabajas muy bien
Thank you very supportive video... engine light is on due to shift noid!
Hi Hiram it's Rafiek I'm a diyer from sunny South Africa thanks for sharing such a very practical and informative video.The way in which you presented the video was excellent to to point.I never knew that these solenoids could be dismantled.
On my Alfa Romeo it has a Asian AF 40-6speed automatic transmission when it's cold it changes excellent but as the transmission starts warming up I notice it's shifts are not smooth that's up and down shifts especially from park to reverse and from drive to park I get like a bang.
Like I said when it's cold it drives like a dream even on the country side on long distance it's go well but whe coming into city or traffic it's starts to play up.From your experience do you think cleaning the solenoids could solve my problem can u please advise me.I did a oil flush twice already but it's was no different
Secondly where can I purchase this tool.
Thanking you I advance and be safe
Thanks for the informative video.
Can this be done on the solenoid for the 09A transmission?
If so same tool?
Great video Hiram,
A few people have asked about the size of the bit, but I have no seen an answer - can you please share that bit of information?
Thanks
He did not ever mention the drill bit size but says it comes in the Transgo shift kit that he showed in the later part of the video. You can always measure the size of the pintel or armature shaft with a micrometer or calipers and get a bit slightly larger. It may be a standard fractional bit, or metric, or even a letter or number size. Refer to a comprehensive drill bit chart that will give you all the comparative sizes in decimal inches to determine which one will work best.
That fluid is very expensive. I am going to change the fluid in my Passat. I would like to get Ravenol fluid and give it a try. A lot of people say good things about that but not so much the factory WS fluid these cars had. WS is not the worst but a lot of people say it doesn't last long and that is not based only on the fluid turning black quickly either. My guess as to why it turns black easily is the dye. I have seen a sample of it turn purple in open air. Would the dye in WS be a moisture indicator? I only wonder because I read that it does absorb moisture similarly to brake fluid. That all by itself may be one reason why WS is so hated by many. My previous VW was a 2006 Jetta and it also had the 09G but used a T-IV fluid. Same color change but those fluids do seem to be very similar and that is especially since WS replaces T-IV in some cars.
Hi Hiram. I just replaced the solenoids on my 09G because the transmission was revving then going into gear causing it to bang hard. After the solenoid replacement it does not do this anymore but now it is flaring while upshifting and an ocasional rough downshift.
I changed the fluid twice to get the old stuff out of there and reset the transmission with VCDS. The solenoid kit I bought did not come with the two very small solenoids only the six bigger solenoids. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks for the video Hiram.
This is not VW related, but my sister has 2012 Nissan Altima with the CVT trans. Shd got a P0746 code (pressure control solenoid A stuck off)
I read that people replace the entire valve body to fix this code, but funds are not really there right now. Lost her job due to this Covid19...
I found a solenoid repair kit for the valve body that comes with harness, solenoids, and stepper motor.
If i purchase that, install it and replace fluid filter, do you think it will remedy the issue? Just want to buy her some more time.
Car runs ok if you're not hard on it...Makes some roughness and noise when you press the accelerator hard.
Thank you kindly! Enjoyed some of your other vids. The 4L60E vids def helped me!
Cheers
Master of the art. Great videos...
Hi. Where can I buy the tools you used for taking the solenoids apart? Thanks
Awesome video! Question... Currently I am having an issue on my 2014 Jetta 1.8T. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the car doens't move, just revs. It seems like every other gear seems to function just fine. The only fault code that currently comes up under the transmission is, "Pressure Control Solenoid C" P079500. I have done some looking up and it seems like it might be an internal problem with the transmission instead of the valve body. I guess my question is, would a new valve body solve my issue? I changed the oil and filter on the transmission and it didn't resolve the problem unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
Great Video! Thanks!
You are so good and know your transmissions thanks..
This is some serious stuff here. :) Since you are professional, can you tell me is it possible to flash or reprogram 09K aisin transmission that are in VW euro models to make it change gears couple of hundred RPM later than in factory settings? In current form D setting is way too economical changing gears too early choking up the engine and S setting too sporty changing gears around 2000 rpm. Would be nice to be able to modify it somewhere in between.
Gutierrez I am glad to see this video about Solenoid. I have a 300 Chrysler 2012 just bought it 9,500 miles four months ago now the car has 13,800 miles I have problems wit it when you started from zero miles to 40 miles it picks up really slow unless you put the the foot hard to where the by passed comes on then it feels like taking off. I took to the Dodge Dealer in Napperville Illinois and They told me nothing is wrong with the transmission or the car I asked them if they will aloud me to drive one of their 2015 v6 Chrysler 300 and They refused to So I am now dissatisfied and disappointed with this car that Iam$ 41,000.. with big problems and Full Warranty But Dodge Dealer personal services they are Awfully Bad when Fixing a problem to their own cars. Gutierrez did You the problem with my Car could it be the Solenoid sensors what did suggest. just wondering if you may have on answer
dear hiram!!! very good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, can you send for me where canal i buy This Tool to Fix this body valve??
Waiting for your answer
We have tried SINS products ONE TIME, then we dropped them as the quality was very bad on the lot we received. We had same kind of problems or even worse when the bad solenoids burned the TCM. So when working with DSG at least I learned to stick to OEM !
The most amazing video DYI I ever see
Where can I get all tools and install the solenoid?
HI dear I have a blazer 2008. I have a problem with the gearbox as in the scan. But I have the shifts moving properly without any problems. One of the workshops says the gearbox must be packed. The other says there is no problem with the gearbox. What do you think work? The examination is

engineer question which solenoid influences to blow in direct? 09g valves, the box was already repaired and the selenoid bushings were changed and a direct blow follows
I have a question, would you happen to know the location of the Transmission Pressure Solenoid J, in a VW Up! 2013?
Where to get that rebuild tools like you use to open and re assemble the solenoid?
Where's your shop? My wifes 2007 Convertible beetle needs you. Shifts bad from 1-2 and 2-3. How much do you charge to do the service?
i have a 2006 wv passat 2.0T auto..the transmission work fine until the engine heat up...then its really bad, slipping gears,...harsh downshifts...its alfull..can i fix in that way?
Hi good afternoon i think i have a bad solenoid issues how much would something like this repair cost including parts and labor
wow great video, where can I find the tool?
Hiram, ¡Excelente video!, ¿podrias proporcionarme el website de USA para poder comprar la herramienta para desarmar y armar los solenoides? ... Felicitaciones por tus videos que nos compartes.
Herramientas Laredo en mercado de Cuautitlán de Romero Rubio.
Hiram, Thanks very much for your videos. I've watched all of the 09G videos more than once. I've just bought an 2006 jetta and i'm having these problems. I have a local Transmission shop that told me that the reman'd valve bodies and the transgo kits fail and can cause more damage. Do you check back with the people that drive these vehicles that you work on? I'm wondering if that is true. Thanks again.
good job what's the tool that you using? to open the solenoid
Hi Hiram first of all your videos are awesome thanks you, but I have a question ... I got a Jetta 2004 1.8t with a 09A. My question is do u know any way to try the selenoids or clean those? This valve body has 9 selenoids thanks
Where can I get the sleeve tools that you used to take apart the solenoids. My solenoids on my Camry looks very similar to what you are working on here.
awesome video, thanks , we have a mazda 3 with 180,000 miles , when you first start car in morning it wont go into drive,have to wait for it to get into operating temperature for the trans to shift into drive,after that it works great... any sugestions? ,thanks
Good vid.
How would you take those apart without the tool you had?
When changing the solenoids on a 04 maxima should a valve body kit be installed? I watched your video when you where fixing the maxima that was hard shifting and didint remember if you said you always put a shift kit in.. Can you try and answer that? Please
hola me gusto tu video pero como consigo esa herramienta para abrir y cerrar los solenoides cual es el numero de parte
How much you charge to do this? I'm in Dallas
Thanks for honest information...cool video....thank you...
excelente video Hiram 👍👍
Hey Buds...did some research. The kit he's using is the Transgo 09g. Look it up online.....
Hiram tengo un problema con una honda element 04 automatic la compre con la trans que cuando se calienta como 3min coriendo se queda en neutro en todos los cambios. La desmonte y le encontre una linea rota en el cuerpo de valvulas, dije bueno creo que aye el prob. La reconstrui con todo nuevo incluyendo la linea rota, le puse el conv. nuevo tambien y sigue con el mismo probl. por favor que crees que esta pasando. Me encatantan tus videos y tu sabiduria que demuestras, confio y respeto tu opinion. Por favor necesito tu opnion. Que Dios te bendiga mucho mas.
Great video can I do this on a R50 mini It’s stuck in first gear. Dealer did the Adaptation I have an X before each gear still not getting out of first any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
I have the solus pro, but I need some good scanner you can recommend to do the reprograming. ..en general
Great tutorials Hiram, Just about to tear down my 2004 golf 1.6 6 speed tiptronic , im guessing the solenoids are the problem as it jumps, rough changes after up to temp .
You Vids have given me some excellent insight into procedures, thanks a lot !
Where did you get that solenoid opening tool, it works on asians and domestic?
+Maic Salazar We have the tool kit on our website , we also stock other items for these solenoid repairs.
that tool kit works on 5 Speed and 6 Speed Automatics - 09D / TF60SN , 09D / TR60SN , AW55-50 , AW55-51SN , TF80 , and TF81SC Models.
Cascade Transmission Parts period come , then go to tools tab - we do have more than shown hit the contact us link
hope this helps
you are perfect......................may I ask you for some clip regarding GM5L40 ?
thanks again for your kindness and helpful clips.
Would a reamer of that size be OK to use? I see folks that work with lathes use reamers to smooth out drilled holes.
Hi! Could you please take a doubt? You reused the original can of solenoids or you replaced by that kit with a new can and bushings? Thanks man!
Hello
What is the mark of the tool for the disassembly and reassembly of the solenoids
Thank you
Hi Hiram, do you know what is the way to repair the solenoids used on BMW transmissions? also in some jags and fords as well Gracias amigo!
will a solenoid also make any sound? But sometimes me got in to second gear little hard in a chevy 4L60-E. With the sound . Going into drive or revers make sound. (park) and (neutral) don't make sound. should I put a torque converter. thank you for taking he time of read this and may help me
I got a 2005 beetle and im have the valve body with solenoids replaced soon it gets warm and I have a really nasty 1-2 and 2-3 shift it slams hard enough it chirped the tires once. Then it down shifts it does it down on same gears. If that dont fix it im try this ( might even if it does fix it )
Hiram, good vid. Where can one get the tool you are using? Thanks
hiram do you have one video were you test the solenoi in transmission E40D ONLY RESISTENT and how you tst thanks you for you videos ....
thanks, Hiram,
on a "04 Honda Odyssey, do you think removing the solenoids and cleaning them would repair it? I don't even know if I can get them out , perhaps I don't need to do them all but I don't know which one is causing the problem (when it gets hot it definitely has trouble shifting) and the shifter on the steering column will move into the lower drive gears.
thanks,
again
