Hi just want to thank you for your great videos. They are truly appreciated. I have a 2010 mountaineer with 68,000 miles and the 4.0 engine and the 5r55s trans. Vehicle meticulous maintained. Oil change between 3-4000 miles. Trans every 20,000 miles. I have saved every video you made on the timming chains and transmission. No issues yet. Again thank you Sir
04 explorer 5R55W. Replaced the valve body, solenoid pack and filter. Fixed all my shift problems and the harsh reverse. Great videos! Parts are available for cheap on e bay. Thanks!
Amazing tutorial and my favorite part of this video is 'I am' by Crowder playing in the background. God Bless!
WARNING VERY IMPORTANT! What this video does not mention and I am sure it was mentioned in one of his other video's since he is in a business to make money and not give out all the information or perhaps he just forgot to mention it is before you can remove the solenoid pack you first have to remove the 10 mm bolt running through the top of the wire connected to the top above the solenoid pack. Forcing the solenoid pack or prying it off in any other way will cost you the solenoid pack or even the transmission case all together. Notice the solenoid pack was already unscrewed with just the center screw left and no mention of the 10 mm bolt on top?..
Thanks,been,trying,to,pull mine off for,over an HR and wouldnt budge
Your comment is reliable. Thanks for the info, if you haven't mentioned it maybe we ruin the solenoid pack. Thank you so much sir
He said to check out his other video on how to remove selinoid. Pay attention. Thank him for sharing his knowledge.
How do you clean the valve body? Can I use brake cleaner?
Bro thank you soooo much I was stuck and could not get the plug out till reading this thank you again
Another great video for those of us still breathing life into the ford exploders!!!
Thanks for this good video. I’m thinking of doing this on my shop. I usually don’t mess with transmissions.
Really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. I have an 03 Crown Victoria and need to know what to check for a reverse that does not want to engage after driving on the interstate for a good while, 30 miles or so , and on real hot days. It will sometimes need to sit for a half an hour before catching reverse. Thank you
Hi Tech, awesome tutorial thank you. I’m looking at doing the same on a 2008 ford ranger turbo 3ltr. Was told it has separate solenoids. But I’m sure it is the same as this in vid.
The number one reason this transmission fails is because of bad O-rings on the plug going into the valve unit the AC unit on most explorers dump water on it constantly lot of times you'll find rust on top of the reverse valve and if it's been doing it for a while that usually kills that valve
Good video. Do you have any tricks for removing a broken o/d servo pin? It is broken right at the hole through the side of the pin. I can move it a little with the valve body off, but can't get it out.
Thank you for this wonderful video. How much would I have to pay for a job like this in general
My brain: damn this job looks hard.... also brain: he dropped the bolt...... this might be doable 😂
Hi nice one, Please let me know what can be a prombrem when shifting reverse gears it make some noise
Hello Tech, could the valve body cause a no reverse issue? Thank you
Did you replace the valve body? There's only a link for the new solenoid pack in your description, so I'm wondering if replacing the valve body is also in order to correct the harsh reverse engagement in my 2008 mustang.
This dude is the best!
Thank you so much for your videos, you have taught me so much man. Just had a few questions for you. 99explrer4.0sohc4x4 175000 original miles. I Was about to do a lot of work and maintenance on it $$ but am questioning the transmission for 2 reasons, which is making me hesitate before babying and spending on the old Explorer.
It has been babied never driven hard and isn't really showing any signs of wear in any gears except for final gear. It takes a while to shift into final gear until the trans warms up than no problems just shifts a bit early and a bit laggy I would say. I thought it was maybe the valve body gasket but just wanted your expert opinion.
Also shifting into reverse it kinda slam into gear once in a while not always, if I depress brake and feather correctly it can be smooth shifting into reverse. Also what are your thought on high mileage transmission fluid changes or flushes?
Otherwise The motors solid and burns no oil. I got some usual signs of wear, pcv, valve cover, Im gaskets, etc, but thanks to YOUR videos it will ALL be a BREEZE, hopefully your thoughts on the transmission is good news and I will go ahead and take care of business!
Hey so if i had that hard harsh engagement reverse is just once in a while, do i change the solenoid pack ? Please help but the way is a mustang 05 V6 4.0
I have a 2008 Explorer 2wd XLT 4.0 6 and it started having the harsh engage to reverse only. From park to reverse it hard engages and from reverse back to park it does as well. It shifts from park into drive fine, and shifts through all of the gears fine. From everything I have read including this vid it sounds like the valve body. My questions is should the solenoid pack be replaced as well when doing this? Its only $200 more to do, but wondered if it was even necessary.
Love your videos, keep em coming.
You should do a tool box tour...
Yeah I know that is on my idea list.
Hey I had a big spring in the reverse servo
Hello how are you my friend I want to asking you about the automatic transmission has a strong vibration when you switch to third and when transferred to the reverse has a hit
I have the 5r55e in my 4x4 2002 Ford ranger with the same delayed/harsh engagements.Would this video be the same for this transmission? If not, Have you made a video on the same issue in the 5r55e.
That metal plate the big one that came off valve body are the three bolts holding it on do they need torqued down or doesn't matter?
does the reverse servo have a servo piston in it?it looks. similar to the cap covers on the interm and the OD servos. ive read that the rubber will sometimes separate from the steel
NICE VIDEO in mine i have a noise like purr when cold only, it can be compare with a bad catalyst noise but I alread fix them , any idea thanks¡¡ im sure is a transmition issue.
Hi, did you replaced the VB gasket? can I use the installed one if it is stil ok?
Great video. I have a slightly delayed engagement into reverse at times. I'm considering just throwing a valve body & sol. pack & filter into it and see what happens... My explorer has less than 100,000miles on it...
I have the same problem. Did that work for you?
@@TeeSisco I haven't fixed mine yet.... we don't drive the vehicle much... one day....
Do you have a link for the valve body too?
Great video
Had a guy rebuild one on an 03 explorer all-wheel drive it slams into reverse slams in the drive didn't do it before the rebuild he's been back into it twice and it only gets worse supposedly put used valve body and solenoid packs in it now I'm here trying to figure out how to fix this myself time to become a transmission man thank you TH-cam
Man, if I could take my Ford Ranger to you I would definitely do it since I'm not sure at all what the problem is. I've seen your videos but Im still not confident of the actual problem.
Hey there! I recently came across some issues with my 2000 Ford Ranger with an AT. The O/D OFF light started blinking, so I pulled the code and it threw the P0741 code. I'm trying to diagnose what exactly it could be. I think I may just end up diving in and checking it out, but I'm completely new to this. This video helped me understand it way more, but I'm still a bit unclear. My symptoms are that it will come on after a couple miles of driving, then reset when I shut the truck off. Seems pretty common from what I read on the internet, but can't find an exact solution. Another symptom is that it has an extremely harsh shift from 1st to 2nd, and I think it's a bit harsh from 2nd to 3rd but not nearly as noticeable. Based on these symptoms, do you have any advice? Not expecting an exact solution, but could you help me figure out how to go about resolving the issue with out throwing a bunch of new solenoids and new parts at it? Thank you!
Also FordTechMakuLoco
I have a question. What is the generic general price of these items (guestimate for a Ford Explorer Sports Track 01)
(1.) Brand new seals?
(2.) Brand new gaskets?
(3.) Brand new rings?
(4.) Upper valve body gaskets ?
(5.) Lower valve body gaskets? (thanks)
My 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac had harsh shifting into reverse and between 3rd and 4th I changed the solenoid pack it work great for about 2 weeks but now I'm getting P0741 any suggestions?
Ford needs you at corporate! Whatever dealership you work for has no idea how good you are!
Sad but true...
Ford designs it’s cars in this way, on purpose, so the designed-to-fail parts or planned obsolescence provide lots of jobs for the whole “food” chain!
Excellent!
Good morning ford tech thanks for all help you are giving, question i have a 1998 ford explorer suddenly will not go in reverse just forward any idea what could be? i will appreciate the info if its worth fixing it. thanks
Mine too did you figure it out
Hello FordTechMakuLoco
IS this an 01 ford explorer sports trac?
I was trying to replace servo pistons but had a mishap, so I had to remove the servo pistons. However, one broke, so now im taking off the valve body to see if I can get to it. But, the solenoid pack is not wanting to come out, I have removed all the bolts, and it moves but seems like it is caught on something in the bore, could this be the broken piston or is there a secret to removing the solenoid pack? Thanks!
Does it matter which gasket I use for the cover?
Hi, i have harsh in forward and sometimes in Reverse , with P0745 code, i have changed solenoid block but the problem still there, do i have to change the valve body or just check solenoid regulator valve? please advice . thanks
My 2001 Ford Explorer Sport studders in reverse, all other gears are fine. Any solutions? I also replaced the valve body gasket not to long ago.
In respect to conservative measures, I train the fluid replace the filter replace the fluid flush it twice after that and on the last fill I add BG automatic transmission concentrate and overtime these late and harsh shifts will work themselves out. Worn out low or broken down fluid will cause valves in a valve body to stick or have some scoring. If any product in the world will help clean that up it is BG atc. I have had amazing success with this product the other points are fluid gets hot when it's thin and worn out because it's not lubricating antifreeze that is old is not cooling your transmission or your engine like it should and old thin worn out engine oil the same thing. Dirty injectors cause extra fuel to wash past the rings you now have a crankcase that has fuel in the oil and none of this is any good. Full new and vital fluids are the key to the life of your car. By the way drain and fill that transfer case with ATF and bgmgc as well as your front and rear differentials. Replace that fuel filter. American made fuel filters plug themselves up because of pressure and volume unlike foreign car filters that will go 80,000 miles. Ford is not back and better than ever Ford is just the way they always used to be cheap and high maintenance
Hai sir I buy ford explorer 2002 when I change the gear from parking to reverse and from reverse to neutral it gives a jerk but the shaft and the difference is good the only problem is in gear I think so the sensor of gear 1 is bad
Hi there I have a 2007 Ford Explorer sport trac with a 4.6 6r60 trans when replacing the valve body do I have to reprogram the computer
My 06 Mustang has had this problem for over a year. I have talked to a bunch of Ford Dealership service centers here in Phoenix Az, and none of them know what the hell is wrong with my trans. Are you the only Ford tech that knows anything about this? Unbelievable. I am just going to fix it myself with the help of your vids. Thanks for posting this valuable information.
No allot of trans techs at Ford dealerships know of this a very common cause.
FordTechMakuloco So do I replace the valve body and solenoid pack with new? I can get them at the Ford dealer or somewhere else? Thanks for the info.
You can get the parts at allot of places online but I would only trust a Ford dealer for new parts if I was going to go through all of this. I would personally replace the solenoid pack first.
FordTechMakuloco Thank you for your advice. I will do that. Thanks for the extremely helpful videos. Only place on the internet and the real world that I found my answers about my trans problem.
I, have question about reverse servo broken or torn screen. Is, it ok to use the reverse servo without the screen? I seen on the other comments the screen can be removed and it won't effect the transmission.
What should I do when there is metal on the thing in the solenoid pack?
I am pretty sure this is what is wrong with my "04" Explorer it sloowly slides into R or did-now I have no R at all what is your thought on the problem? all other gears work?
I have a 09 Ford Mustang with p0741 and I have monitored the desired and actual converter slippage with an IDS, there is no change when I command it on. With the vehicle parked and I use the IDS to command it on I can hear the TCC solenoid click from under the vehicle. How do I find out if it need a torque converter or if the issue is in the valve body?
On my ford explorer 3 (automatic transmission 5r55s) when driving, the cover burst XW4Z7D027GB. 3000 km before that, there was a major repair of the automatic transmission. What could be the cause of the damage XW4Z7D027GB?
my 2003 Eddie Bauer Explorer 4.0 v6 just started 'OD Off' blinking light. No slipping or unusual shifting. The trans seems really good. I'm wondering if this could be symptomatic of fluid/filter or possibly Solenoid Pack. Autozone ran scan and said it has a code of P0741. Any advise? GREAT CHANNEL, by the way!!!!
Man Living Naturally I AM STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY
Same here. I'm going to check connections and wires. In the mean time since it runs fine without the light flashing i just erase the code using my OBD scanner. It comes back and and goes away on its own. But if i'm doing a lot of stop and go then i'll just erase it.
I had a P0741 in a rebuilt 5r55s on a mustang, that came from a stuck TCC boost valve
Hi there,
I replaced the solenoid pack n still getting P0741 the transmission shifts nice no problem,change the filter and no debris or metal near by the magnet inside looks clean,do u think changing the vb will fix this?
Thanks for posting these videos!
+Gerardo Esteban almost every time the cause for a p0741 is the valve body as shown in this video.
I've watched the video but am not clear on what part you changed.
He replaced the Solenoid Pack at 1:00 (black plastic cluster) and the Valve Body at 4:00 (big silver thing).
2008 mustang gt sudden loss of reverse and drive.. no noise. Fluid didn't smell burnt but the filter was dirty. Replaced the fluid and filter. Now have a small attempt in 8 but not a strong grab... why..?
i have a 2003 Lincoln Aviator that wont go front or reverse. i checked shifting wire change solenoid block and filter and still have the same problem. any idea what is the problem? do i need a new transmission?
was there slipping in drive or third or other gears?
I have a 2005 Ford explorer, i have no 2nd gear, i tried the servo bore route but still no 2nd gear also new solenoid pack same thing. Funny thing is i do have 5th but only with od turned off. There was only fuzz on the pan magnet no metal chunks or shavings. Trying a valve body shift kit now. If you or anyone else have any ideas. It did throw 0731,733,734 and 745 codes.
I do things conservatively. Basic foundational viewing from 10,000 ft. Replace that filter replace the fluid swap the fluid another three times and put in your BG automatic transmission concentrate. Clean and vital fluid is the trick. Also Ford tends to use radiators that are too small for the vehicles on top of that people don't change their oil don't change their tranny fluid don't change the coolant. Finn worn out broken down oil and antifreeze cannot cool properly. Get your fluids replaced make sure they are full keep your tire pressures full and when you're at a mile high going uphill with thin air and high temperatures loaded to the gills with people and luggage help the vehicle by backing off a little bit it's not going to do what it does at sea level. Not to be derogatory or sound like I know it all. I do the little and basic things first BG ATC will break down varnish sludge and little pieces of sediment that are holding those valves from moving. 90% of your problems are people because people don't take care of stuff
Hey, I dropped my pan to change the filter and noticed the screen on the reverse servo is broken. Can I buy a screen? What should I do? Thank you. Love your videos.
It doesn't matter. You can take it off completely if you want it's just a little filter, and pretty much the transmission filter itself filters out all bad particles.
hi 99 Ford Ranger heard a loud pop now have no reverse how can I tell what kind of transmission I got
Simple and Clear, But is just opening, checking and changing fluid and filter???
reminds me of my 5r55E in my driveway :), but thats the gaskt failure
Hey tech, I am also having a harsh and delayed reverse with the soft slip from 2nd to 3rd gear. Should I replace the solenoid pack while I have it open? Thx
+jsjizza1 I have the same issue on my 03 Explorer. What did you find that fixed this?
My Explorer 2002 only have 24,000 miles on it and have a code p0741 do I really have to change the valve body, I thought with this low miles how could it have this problem any comment or suggestion on how to fix and diagnose this would be helpful.
I ordered a new valve body and gasket kit for it but when I received the valve body it came with like a hard gasket already installed on it. Do I need to use the other gasket kit I got off eBay?
+MrMmfz85 No it should only have one separator plate.
@FordTechMakuloco , I just replaced the valve body in my 04 LS with an updated refurb and am not able to get the vehicle to move. Bringing up the RPMs to around 3-4K I am able to get it to lurch forward ever so slightly, but that's it. Possible that I messed up the shift cable or manual arm while replacing it? No CEL or CT light. Any thoughts?
Did you ever figure out what was causing this?
I'm having the same issue but in reverse and drive but the vehicle moves in sst 1st and 2nd gear but wont do 3rd or up.
I'm going to clean inspect the valve body and install the TransGo shift kit and a new solenoid pack as well.
It would be nice to know what else I should look for and what is causing the same no movement but slightly lurch forward or reverse.
I have a 2007 Ford Fusion that will not shift into a higher gear. Once you hit about 40 to 50 mph, only the RPMs go up but no upshift. I took it to the dealership for a diagnostic and they said it needed a valve body replacement. However, they also said there could be further transmission damage but would only know for sure after removing the transmission oil pan. If I remove it myself, how will I know if it only needs a valve body replacement and/or if no other transmission damage has occurred? Plus where can I get the torque sequence for this valve body? I would appreciate any help! Thank you for what you already do!
+Ruben Galindo I assume you have the 6 speed? Which gears are you missing? First check is the trans fluid level, color and smell is it burnt?
+FordTechMakuloco
I was told by the Ford dealership that it's a 5 speed. I'm not sure at what gear it stops. and yes the fluid is black but it doesn't really smell burnt.
+Ruben Galindo because this is a mazda trans only the valve body or complete transmission is available. So thery are guessing at the valve body to get you in there and then drop the bombshell you need a complete trans because it did not fix it and nothing is serviceable on the trans. If you remove the valve body you would be looking for excessive debris causing the valves to stick. They should move freely in their bores.
ok thanks. If it indeed needs another transmission, Ford quoted me $8,000 plus. The car is not even worth $8K. Are used or rebuilt transmissions difficult to change out? Are special tools required for this job? I'm no mechanic but I do try to do some things if they're not too difficult.
+FordTechMakulocom.M I have a 2005 Ford Explorer v6 and my reverse went out also in third gear it will not pop into place . is there anything I can do before taking it to a transmission dealer I consider myself pretty mechanically inclined
I have a 2004 Explorer giving error codes for the torque converter as you mentioned as well as codes for shifts, which I think indicates worn servo bore in the tranny case. I also have a solenoid error.
Do you think I need a servo fix, and a new valve body and solenoid body?
Benjamin Slayton Were you able to answer your question? What was the result?
+FordTechMakuloco good afternoon, I'm hoping you can help diagnose an issue with my 2008 explorer xlt, 137k miles. A few days ago my card began hard shifting from 1-2-3 making a sound like a louder spin up. not the smooth humm, but more of a "vrooooom". Very difficult to describe. I scanned for codes and it shows P0443, p0053, p0059, p0060, p0403, p0054, p0528,p0620 . I took it to a shop and was told I need a transmission rebuild quoted $1800. The only light that is on my dash is the check engine light which was there a few week priors to the hard shifting. Thanks for all the youtube content it has help sort out other issues with my cars.
Subscribed , liked , comment . Great video .
i have a 2005 ranger fx 2, 4 liter with a 5R55E (acording to the sticker and book) my trans is not shifting, it stays in 1st, the od off light is flashing and i have no reverse. I also have no check engine light on at this time. Any Ideas? 125,000 miles
+Raymond Root The flashing O/D light means the pcm has found a trans fault and stored a code so get the codes read first.
+FordTechMakuloco Just put my scanner on it PASS no codes found The light is still flashing though
+Raymond Root I use the same scanner as auto zone should that one read trans codes? would the range selector switch have anything to do with this?
+Raymond Root ok I found my issue at least I think I did. I dropped my pan, pulled the valve body to check gaskets. then I niticed a peice of aluminum kind of hanging on the passenger side. Turns out the snap ring housing for the o.d. serval has about a 1-1/2 inch peice broken out witch in turn allowed the serval to twist. So I was woundering if i put the surval back in place and reinstall the snap ring, do you think this would hold for a few weeks? Or would some J.B. weld hold the peice good enough for a temp fix?
Hello. Great videos. I have a quick question. Out of the blue my 2003 ford explorer just didn't want to reverse. All other gears are fine. Shift good on drive and everything just no reverse. It goes into gear but nothing. Can it be the reverse servo, band, valve body? Thanks!
No check engine light or anything on dash. About 130k miles on it. Should I try resetting pcm too? Thanks
I'm having the exact same problem man, did you find out what it was???? Please
what about a delayed harsh engagement into Drive on a 5r55n transmission.
Nice work. Could I have your advice about code P1700
Hello just loosen my band on intermediate totally now I can feel any torque adjustment and the 3rd gear and 1st has no pressure can’t move can give any idea or need to buy new transmission and the engine light on and overdrive flashing pls help me god bless
Hey buddy I have a question for you my 0t ford explorer is getting two transmission codes can't remember the code exactly. But first one said solenoid pack A and second one said gear 3 out of ratio. Should I get it rebuilt or should I change the solenoid pack?
Having the exact code is best but if you have high mileage the servo bores are likely worn anyway so a solenoid pack may only prolong the inevitable rebuild of the trans.
My car only shifts harshly when the O/D light flashes. When it goes away the Explorer runs like a dream. Any ideas sir?
Edit: I got code P0741 and my CC slip was like 74 the one time i took my tablet with me and had the OBD2 reader in. I'm scared to take it into a shop and have them say "Derp you need a new tranny"
I have problem with my 5r55w trans at reverse. the problem is lose power at reverse ,how to fix it sir ? thank you
Ive got 08 eddie bauer explorer, 4.0 2 WD. Harsh shift at 2ndcto 3rd and 3rd to 4th, and jerk going into reverse. Im assuming from your videos a valve body and solenoid pack would likely fix it? Which brand n the part # do u reccomend? Any tips on removing broken pan bolts? Lol
Or if youve covered that in some other videos the link. Thanks
Just wondering, if you could clean the valve body?? Do you always have to replace it?? how much is it?? I understand that solenoid pack should be changed, by the way, how much that cost?? Just wondering, if cleaning valve body would do the trick? Thanks, youtheman =)
You can fix the solenoid pack. Lots of videos on that. You can also brush out the bores with the Superior brand "Bench Buddies"
@FordTechMakuloco:
I agree with SuperMegaCliff! Keep the great vids coming!
Could you do a review / demonstration of the Ford dedicated scan tool?
Ford definitely needs to put you on their service network video channel. LOL
Another fine idea, I have been thinking of and IDS video showing all the cool stuff the tool can test and tell us right from the drivers seat. I will put that in my idea book also.
Did u replace the entire valve body or just cleaned. Also what about the gaskets did u replace them
+MrMmfz85 No the entire valve body must be replaced for his concern.
Dude you are awesome you
ty
Tried pulling solenoid block straight out like in video and obliterated the wire harness on the inside.
they sell replacement wiring harness pigtails or cut one off from the salvage yard
DOS ANY ONE KNOW IF can i put a TRANSMISSION 5R55S ON MY FORD EXPLORER 2002? THE ORIGUINAL 5R55W WENT BAD.. THANKS
If my fluid, which I don't know if it's ever been changed in 180,000 miles, is Brown instead of red, does that mean the bands are burned?
Brown is dirty and black is burned.
Where can I get the value body?
hey man i have a 2003 explorer 4.0 and i have a problem with the transmission...it shifts from park to all the gears fine but when i drive it doesnt go past 45 mph..do you have an idea what it might be
You will have to count the shift to see if it is achieving 5th gear or not, sounds like a servo bore issue not allowing 5th gear. Any codes yet?
DOES THE VALVE BODY GASKET HAS TWO DUAL GASKETS
hi my ranger loss gear when i come to a stop i have a 2.5l auto 2000..i just put mobil 1 and some conditioner from lucas should i do a rebuild or go for a bonded valve body gasket and a transgo shift kit?
louis ortiz Pull pan first and check that gasket.
ok cool thankyou i know your a busy man peace ...
I have a 96 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer with 4 wheel drive my car was #slipping 2nd 3rd #gear when I put it in #reverse is slipped a little and den it #jerk back #hard .I check the #transmission #fluid it wasn't #burnt .. The #fluid it still #red .. I #change the #transmission #filter & added new fluid with it . You think I should #change change the #body #gasket cover ?
MocThaBoss Wallace I would check for blown out gaskets yes, but more than likely the servo seals are hard and not sealing very well causing the 2-3 shift flare very common.
FordTechMakuloco Iight thank man have a blessed one
Good morning! Just bought a used 04 explorer 4.6 V8 and I'm having the hard shift into reverse and sometimes a hard shift into 2nd and to get to overdrive. Most times this has happened, the "check transmission" message came on the trip computer display and the O/D light flashed. Turning the car off and on reset these messages. But the other day this happened and it triggered the check engine light. My friend here at work has a code puller and I got the P0775 error code - solenoid b - should I just go for the solenoid block replacement and also a new pan gasket and filter and see how that goes?
Does it have high mileage on it?
Yes, 167000
I'm having same problem my o/d lights on and it seems to slip after it hits 45 mph. But I can't get a code because my check engine light won't come on. I think it's the solenoid pack but how can I be sure.
Tron2271 if the O/D light is flashing then there is a pcm code stored. Your scanner must be able to read manufacturer codes as P1744 is likely set.
Can I purchase a reverse servo???
I'm kind of confused so he did change the valve body and the solenoid pack or just clean the valance body and change the solenoid pack?
+S197 Jet the failure is in the valve body and must be replaced
Hi.was having an issue with not going into 4th -5th gears. Will run in 1-2-3 fine, but will not go in reverse. It will kick in but when i add gas it just revs and no movement. I replaced the solenoid pack and the same issue... i get codes of p 0750/ p0765/ po760/ po634/ po740/ p01788/ p01746. The seller of the solenoid pack says i have electrical issue, maybe the harness cap? Any opinions? Thanks
Did you ever figure out what was causing this?
I'm having the same issue but in reverse and drive but the vehicle moves in sst 1st and 2nd gear but wont do 3rd or up.
I'm going to clean inspect the valve body and install the TransGo shift kit and a new solenoid pack as well.
