- Signs and Symptoms of a Bad Transmission Shift Solenoid
Check Engine and Transmission Light Comes On
Vehicle in Limp-Mode
Transmission Delay, Hard Shift, No Shifting, Stuck in Gear, Skipping Gears, Erratic Shifting, Shift Slippage
OBDII Scan Tool with Transmission Options: amzn.to/3WDSq1N
Shift solenoids are located inside the transmission and allow the transmission to shift gears.
A shift solenoid contains a magnetic coil that, when activated by the computer (TCM), a plunger will move and shift a gear.
How Troubleshoot
Check Fluid Level (If Possible)
Have Fluid and Filter Changed
Scan for Codes

I was priced over $4,000 to get my transmission rebuilt. I was told that was my only option. Change solenoid A and filter add transmission is fine! Save myself a lot of money thanks for the video.
Excellent video, Thanks!!
Sometimes I wish you guys would use a car with the symptom instead of just explaining it right show us a car with a bad solenoid that way we know what to look for instead of explaining the symptoms because they are pretty much sound the same..but great video
Thank you bratha
I have a Dodge caravan 2001v6 3.3 I was driving to the store parked van went in side store cAme back out and van has no forward are reverse gears it won't move no problem with transmission before that not sleeping are any problems with it do you have any ideas on what to do
Thanks for the informative video! Lately I’ve been having transmission problems where my car is stuck in overdrive after I come to a complete stop. Could a solenoid start failing even if there are no codes shown on the OBD scanner?
Usually, a bad solenoid will give a code. Be sure the scan tool can read transmission codes. Also, if possible, be sure the transmission fluid is not low or dirty.
I have a few questions. Ok I have a 2011 Nissan Altima. I had a p1778 stepper motor code. Changed it. Changed fluids. Ran great for about 2 months. A code come up for a p420 for catalyst threshold bank 1. Cleared the code out. And now I have the p1778 code again. With it saying stepper motor and dcc solenoid. Now it won’t go past 1st gear. So how was it that I cleared a code and it doesn’t work anymore? Help!! What would I need to change to get it running correctly.
Hi. I have a 1995 228,000 miles Sierra 1500 pickup. Only symptom I have is delayed shift from 1st to 2nd. It waits until 2,700 to 3,100 rpms. I can usually make it upshift to 2nd by easing up on fuel pedal just a little for a moment. Does it hot or cold, in cold weather and warm.
Everything else works as it should. It will downshift from 2nd to 1st as it should. Fluid clean, good and exactly Full. Fuses all good. No CEL or codes stored. No visual leaks or consumption.
Is this the 1-2 solenoid / solenoid A failing, more than likely?
I’m having a similar problem with my 2013 Toyota Camry is only happens when I get up to 20 mph is a a slight hesitation before shifting gears ⚙️ but if I ease up to the 20mph it doesn’t do it no lights or codes at all only 90000 miles on the car
Hello, love your vids, I replaced my a and b solenoid, filter and new trans fluid, seems like starting in third gear, and i have no reverse, Any help would be appreciated, Anthony. i had a p0756 before the repair, seems like it came back on after
Is it bad to drive the car with a bad solenoid?
Hi , how can I tell which one the A, or F solenoids and what om the test solenoid?
A manual or diagram for the transmission will be needed since it will be different for each transmission.
I have a 04 gmc yukon Denali when I first got the truck it would shift but it was delayed the fluid was really dirty so I changed it and replaced the fluid n filter now the truck won’t shift but 3 gears and is slipping bad but I have a code for shift timing solenoid
What code did it show?
Hello friend I have a question I got a Toyota Camry 208 se 2.5L and give two codes p0741 p2714 transmission pressure control solenoid and shift control solenoid But 3 month ago I change tranny fluid it was dark not red and as soon I change I delete codes no more codes but now comes back same codes so what you recommended me thank you
If it was low or out of fluid would it read a P0983
what does it mean solanoid E error
Are you doing I have gmc truck Savana 3500 v8L 6.0 It s stuck in gear ,when I put it in drive it take like 30 mn to drive ,it do it when I out it in reavers too .i change the trans fluid ,filter ,I change evap I clean the trotlle ,it still doing same thing and I don’t find any trans code i disconnect the shaft I put it up when press the gaz pedal it goes over 100 miles .
It seems like there should be codes. Does your scan tool read transmission codes? If you don't have a scan tool that reads transmission codes, many automotive stores will do a scan for free.
My car starts to high rev and I get a p0752 code. I restart the car and everything is fine.
I don’t have any codes but when I shift you can hear a buzzing rattling noise I guess coming from the manual shift lever. And makes alittle noise while driving . The shift solenoid can cause this ?
