My O/D light keeps flashing on my ford f150 year 2000 and yes when I shift my gears on N/D/R etc it gives this jerk motion is that the solenoid or speed sensor?
Thank you so much young man. I have a 2016 Ford Focus and had the clutch replaced and my car is still experiencing these symptoms and by watching your video I realized my car is going into limp mode. The dealership will not fix anything else other than the clutch that’s under warranty unless I cough up some more money. Thank you!
My 2001 lesabre started with severe delayed shifting, first to second wasn't bad but second to third would slam into gear, I did some research and found that this was a known problem on some lesabre models. The temporary fix if you can call it that is to shut the car off which resets the module, leave it off for a couple of minutes then it shifts normally again until it does it again, sometimes it lasts for a bit but then the problem comes back, with close to 300,000 miles it was time to replace all five solonoids. I purchased all five as a package deal off eBay, all OEM parts, the first thing is to prepare the patient by raising the rear and front of the car, I used ramps on the rear and jacked up the front as high as I could because you need to lower the subframe and remove the strut cv axle and everything necessary to gain access to the side cover of the transmission. Remove the cover and it's relatively easy after that except for one thing, the wiring harness that connects the solonoids together, from being heated and cooled a million times the clips that hold the connectors are more brittle than Bob Barkers back, one broke on me and there's no real way to secure it thst I felt confident with. I went to my local Buick dealer and go my surprise they still made the harness, and it could be mine for the poultry sum of 350.00 dollars. I told him I'd let him know, went home and low and behold I found one on eBay for 25 bucks, the only thing was that now I had to wait almost a week with the car in pieces taking up my driveway. I received the part put everything back together and prayed. That was about five years ago and she's been shifting perfect ever since, all told parts, the side cover gasket was the most, second to the solonoids at 55 bucks, all five solonoids were 75 from eBay,,the whole job was around maybe 175 including trans fluid, you loss a lot from the side cover, I also removed and replaced the trans filter while I was at it. I've been working on cars for almost 40 years now, I wouldn't recommend doing if yourself for a beginner but then again, everybody has to start somewhere, power tools aren't necessary but they make the job to faster, with hand tools it's a lot of nuts and bolts to remove.
appreciate your comments....Have an05 LeSabre. Sometimes rough bump after initial shift into drive. Five solenoids? Saw a separate reference about 4 solenoids..wonder what the 5th one is. Could u mention the specific seller on Ebay? Thanks for t your excellent post..jP
Before running out and buying those solenoids try replacing the Transmission Control Module that is located inside the air filter box, (Chevy Impala) no tools required and it fixed my problem. They will run you about $20 at the salvage yard, fault P0700.! It takes 5 minutes to replace! You're Welcome
@@markolsen7438 that depends. An older GM sure,a new one no thank you. Buy a toyota,with proper maintenance,will last forever. Fuck made in America bullshit pride
Right on brother ' you've given me hope. 👍 As I drive my 2009 F-150 4×4, the automatic transmission will shift into first gear smoothly, it shifts into second smoothly, then it clunks sharply into third gear at around 35 to 40 mph. Viewing your video, I'm hoping it is something as simple as a solenoide. Thanks again 👍🙏
How do I tell if it's just the solenoid switch, or the entire transmission? Because I hope it's the former because replacing just the solenoid would be much cheaper than replacing the whole tranny.
You need to replace the Sputnik vacuum valve under the transmission picke plate. Its easy to spot, because it's right behind the gear nook. Hope this helps👍
Thank you for the information. Driving home last night (any where from 40 - 70 mph) with no stops, until in town, my 2009 Chrysler Town & Country stalled. Started up in neutral, shift to Drive, and it stalled again. Kept trying, was able to get it going and found it would run/drive using manual D1, D2, etc. Works okay in reverse. No engine light though? Prior to this stalling problem I have noticed at stop lights, the engine seems to idle at higher RPM. But not all the time. Taking it to the transmission shop for professional diagnosis. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
I know this is an old comment but did you find out what the problem was? My 2000 ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT 4 wheel drive is doing similar, and there is no check engine light, but my ABS light is on. My vehicle won't even go in reverse or allow me to shift to Park. I only can drive if I put the gear in 2.😬 I was told it was my Shift Solenoid that needs replacing.🤔
@@flowersfam3462Had a 2,000 bid to open it up and work on it. But the mechanic did not really want to do it. The other transmission shop would not even consider checking the solenoid. So I chose to replace the transmission (they gave me a 3 year warranty on the new one). Three days after it was fixed my battery died. The one fella told me his wife's truck was shifting bad and it was because the battery was going bad! Some kind of electronic issue! I'm putting that fact out of my mind to not second guess my purchase!
2 days ago my older 2000 F250 (only 136,000 miles on it) went "clunk" and the whole truck lurched - then it was like it was stuck in a low gear. I still had to drive a mile home - it did this 3 more times, lurching like it was about to stop, stuck in a low gear and higher rpm's - but it got me and my groceries home - and I haven't touched it since. Least now I know what to tell the mechanic. Thanks.
Thanks, is it possible to get this kind of issue without having the check engine lights on and detected on the scanner? My car has similar symptoms but nothing being detected when it scanned
@@anggadwikara6881 I didn’t replace them because of the fact of not getting codes but I researched a lot can’t find the main video I seen but I’ll find it for you but this may help wanted to try today but it started to rain I will update you when I put the ground wire on to see if it works
Taurus 02. Starting cold, It wont shift out of 1rst gear. After 5 minutes warming up, I can then shift freely all day until it cools. New Transmission fluid and filter.
This is a great video! I have a 2000 automatic Maxima and I was driving the car yesterday and all of a sudden it wouldn’t switch gears. So I turned off the car and turned it back on and it started driving normal for a couple of minutes then it started acting up again, then the check engine light came on. I was pricing transmissions until I came across your video so I hope it’s the solenoid. Thanks for the video and wish me luck
This happened to me for the first time this year and thought my transmission was done!!!!! It turned out to be my tcm so I got it repaired and now it’s better than before. But it still shifts a little weird between 1-2 sometimes.
Do you always get a code for a shift solenoid? My trans stays stuck in a gear. It doesn't act like a slipping transmission to me. It's a 2003 Ford F-250 with a 6.0
I have a 6l80e and 2-3 slips sometimes but smooth on highway or if I’m giving it enough gas. Changed fluid and it’s still the same not better or worse. Trans never overheats. Always stays 140-180
@@smashadams85100 nah not in my case unfortunately. Now im waiting to change trans fluid and adding a bottle of that seafoam transtune and see of that helps. Adding some tomy existing fluid seemed to have helped some
I’m currently having this problem with the same transmission, my fluid was burned and it wasn’t much of it in there at all. I can’t find any solenoids and I’m hoping to avoid buying the entire valve body. Have you found a fix yet?
sometimes my car could not shift gear the engine just revs and that is it.so I went to change transmission oil it was black.put new one and went to a shop that uses a special machine that is for changing transmission oil .believe it or not at my last transmission oil the people told me they do notnhave the proper equipment sp they could oybtake out only 40% old oil.noq they took 90%of the old oil. now the car shifts way better than before and so far does not stuck and does thebold problem but I still think new solenoids would help.
With all the great mechanics that have posted good advice here, I was hoping ya'll could diagnose my 2004 Buick Lesabre with 98k miles on it. I took it to our transmission shop in winter 2023. He changed fluid & filter & put in Lucas trans fix but found nothing wrong with it since there are no Transmission codes. You feel the shift just a little bit... more at lower gears. It doesn't start until your engine is warmed up. I'd like to get it fixed before it gets any worse. Car has been well taken care of so hoping to get at least another 50k mi out of it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
@@Francofit nope still driving it like this feels like it’s getting worse haha I’ll buy a junkyard trans and swap the parts the valve body and solenoids. If that doesn’t work I’m screwed lol but it should
How much does it cost to fix this item at a dealership? I'm a widow, I can't do this myself. I have job interviews to get to before I can afford to fix it, or pay rent. Thank you for the video. It explains what the truck just did. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵✌️🖖
I have a 2020 Chevy Tahoe with 85,000 miles experiencing the same problem what you just described how much time it will approximately take and do I need to put the same transmission fluid or new one thanks 😊
Thank you! Perfectly explained. I believe this is my problem on our 2003 Lincoln Navigator. So bad, last week it had to be flat bedded home (rainy wet day). Engine light, Overdrive warning light, engine missing, Codes galore. Bad... A couple days later, I go out to start checking out what could be wrong, boom, Truck starts up, runs smooth, trans engages, and I drive it for a few miles with no issues. I am afraid to drive it far from home, in case the problem comes back. Any advice?
You need a new car bro, if one of those is bad, it means its over for your car, can't be replaced, they don't make those and if they did make em, you cant remove your current one as its permanently welded with gorilla glue ultra super duper strength Silverback edition.
@@bosspranks8349 i just pulled my 2nd shift solenoid out of it with no problem with being welded in by the motors heat like some would think. And my wifes car has high milage lol. but i still replaced mine but its doing the same and not shifting.
Great video. So the transmission not shifting from drive to another gear including park will throw a code? 2008 versa stored for 2 years and when parked had no problems. Thanks.
Thank you! My 2013 Honda Civic started experiencing all of these symptoms suddenly today. I was freaking out that my transmission was totally shot, or on the way to being totally shot. I’m curious how much money this is gonna cost me to repair?
Are the soilds hard to replace, I have a 2004 H2 Hummer. Motor races between second and third gear. Sounds like the description you gave? . thank you, Richard
Not shifting out of first is often a computer issue. Disconnect the battery and touch the battery cables together to drain any juice out of the vehicle. Then leave it disconnected for 10 minutes. This will reset the computer.
Which solenoid though? A is the typical one I'm seeing in my research that is the one to change. I'm hoping ours is that problem . It's doing exactly what you described. Also it seems to do it more on the days where we run a lot. But when it does the tachometer shuts down and the speedometer.
What about a sudden and quick jerking, as if a pothole was hit but definitely wasn't. 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport, 2.0L Front wheel drive. CVT fluid never been changed (it has an appointment tomorrow at a local transmission shop to get done) My OBD2 reader shows 0 codes flagged. All looks good from it, but it does show that my battery is a bit low voltage during startup. 12.4V stationary, dips to 8.3V during startup for the fraction of a second, then the alternator takes over and puts it at 14.2V.
Hey, thanks for the video. If my truck shifts fine through the gears in Drive, but when i put it in reverse it lags and jobs into reverse if the RPMS increases. Could this be cause by a solenoid?? 2013 ram 2500 hemi Thanks
I have a 2010 nissan rogue cvt level is good but 80% of the time when shifting from P to R or D it shifts pretty hard, any idea if a bad valve body could be the culprit? (Mounts are good)
Great video thank u!! I drive a 08 Lexus IS250. When slowing down and almost about to come to a complete stop I feel a slight bump. Do you know what that can be related to?? I have no check engine light. And I just got the car so I'm not sure if the training fluid or filters was ever change.
@@2righteous I got an update. So I did an engine oil flush using motor medic. I then change my engine oil, filter, and spark plugs, and did a full throttle buddy cleaning down to removing the intake manifold and soaking the intake passages which were full of carbon and slosh. I used seafoam for that. Additionally, I change my front and rear brakes complete with new rotors. Miraculously that surge or bump I was feeling when coming to a complete stop has now disappeared. I'm guessing it had something to do with the carbon cleaning I did and not at all transmission related. What ever it was I no longer have that issue.🤗
This is a long shot hoping someone will chime in with some advice. I just had my transmission rebuild on a 2015 gmc Sierra 5.3. - I feel like the mechanic has done something incorrect. he has had it for a month now. has retired it to me a few times and the truck is not shifting correct. once up to full operating temp it will slip badly going into 2nd. Instead of shifting it will go into neutral and the revs will go up fast until I let off the gas , then it will usually clunk into gear , it goes through all the other gears fairly normally. he is claiming that the truck has to go thru a "learn cycle" than can take multiple days of driving it with these symptoms. sometimes it will just stick in second until oi come to a complete stop then it will go back to normal for a little while. it is also leaking a considerable amount of fluid, took it back twice for just the fluid leak and he keeps saying its fixed but then I take it home and its leaking. he said "sometimes it will leak a little at first"....none of this seems correct. the truck only has 80,000 miles on it and I do not think it even needed a transmission , the whining noise it was making that brought me in the begin with has not been resolved with the rebuild. this shop is where my warranty required me to take it and has very good reviews so I felt like it was a reputable shop. Is it true that a 2015 gmc transmission requires a re-learn period like this and do these sound like normal symptoms of that? I paid a lot of money for this truck and feel like this guy may have destroyed it. the amount of time it is taking is also excessive seeming to me. PS there is no check engine light or trans light coming on and this is why he says nothing is wrong. he has finally agreed it shouldn't be leaking trans fluid so it is back there again for that to be fixed.
Hi! How are you? I have a problem with my ram 5.7 2016 with automatic gearbox. The problem is that when the truck need to put the 5th gear the revolutions going up but the gear is not into. Is like you press the clutch in a manual car and accelerate. I changed the valves box and also the solenoides for the another model but the same piece, because my ram has an grey connector and I puted a green one. Thanks so much 😁
Would a bad Shift Solenoid be the cause of my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 not moving out of park? I won't go frontward or backward. I bought brand new transmission fluid and oil and that didn't fix it... I was thinking along the lines of a linkage problem.
Great video from you man; I swap the engine and gear box of my Honda 1989 model in another body of 2001 model but since after the my Honda gear began to bang or kick and not changing to other gears what could be the most cause of this?
A friend's Chevrolet truck went into "limp mode" and wouldn't change into 3rd gear. He fired the parts cannon and had spent all kinds of $$ trying to figure out what it was. I came over while he and his "automotive tech" neighbor were standing around the truck scratching their heads. Lol when I asked if he tried replacing the transmission shift solenoid his "tech" buddy immediately blurted out "thanks but it wouldn't shift at all if it was bad." Long story short.... It was the solenoid. I think he'd spend a couple hundred bucks already. Lol $18 for the solenoid, and around $40 bucks for pan gasket and new ATF was all he really needed.
So random question. Going from parking to drive the car is slow to start moving. But once I’m driving, it shifts normally, drives fine. At any point during the day if I change the gear from park to drive it gets into gear really slow

I have 2005 ford focus, no reverse or barely can go forward! When in N I cannot push it backwards, but can push forwards. I am not getting any codes? Any information? Could it still be a solenoid?
Mines p0773 and still runs fine.. I got it back from a mechanic with this code and when I took it to him I had no codes or CEL on. He replaced my valve cover gasket and spark plugs. Could this cause this solenoid to malfunction or something??
I’ve got a 2014 Grand Cherokee, Symptom is limp home mode in cold temp ~ 25 deg F. Once I warm up the car, turn off and back on again the transmission works fine. Do you think this could just be that I need new fluid or an early sign of solenoid failure?
I drove my Infiniti yesterday after I changed the value cover gaskets and the manifold for the intake I put it on my scanner which didn’t show anything alone the lines of of TCM so I’m trying to figure out what the problem is I didn’t have the time to check the the transmission fluid hopefully
What if my transmission doesn't engage at all? I have 2015 crv and rn it can start and shift but doesn't engage so can't move. What to do. The cable to the transmission is fine.
Hello, why sometimes it hard to pull gear stick from "P" to "R" and sometimes perfectly ?! maybe there is some kind combination before stoping the car in parking ?!
95 Ford Explorer Trans rebuilt 35000 miles ago, reverse and neutral move forward, Can upshift into higher gears. ( so I know its not clutches burned or anything) Im thinking valve body issue: manual valve, or one of the solenoid… Any help is appreciated.
Will the OBD2 Scanner you recommended display codes for transmission issues? When I shopped Scanners for transmissions they were priced much higher. Please advise. :)
i’m hoping the shift solenoid is my problem. Did a transmission rebuilt on my ‘06 Acura 50k miles ago and it slips into neutral on downshifts at low speeds. Also the time it takes to transition from Park to Drive can be annoyingly long at times. Was hoping the solenoid would be part of the tranny rebuilt, but I guess not. Hope this fixes my current issues.
@@joeeuell7595 not yet sadly although I just did a trans fluid flush and replace it is running like new. Soon I will be changing the trans solenoid to get rid of the rough downshift and late gear changes
Could the solenoid be getting clogged intermittently? One day be having hard shifts that rev up and the engage and the following day be working normal?
Changed my whole valve body out and it shifts out good but when I stop it’s like I’m stuck in a hole and then when I accelerate to move forward it kicks back into gear and goes.

How do you test the solenoids? Ohm meter? Im sure there's a video on that. I don't have time to mess with this so replacing the valve body altogether but would still like to test the solenoids on my current valve body for shits and giggles (and maybe to have a spare part)

Right on brother ' you've given me hope. 👍 As I drive my 2009 F-150 4×4, the automatic transmission will shift into first gear smoothly, it shifts into second smoothly, then it clunks sharply into third gear at around 35 to 40 mph. Viewing your video, I'm hoping it is something as simple as a solenoide. Thanks again 👍🙏
Any luck with this video my f150 is doing similar things you speak of when it goes to third gear. Please let me know thank you

Did this fix ur issue
What's the word?
@@memphistiger4647 it's possible the OP will totally fk up the solenoid replacement if he attempts himself
How do I tell if it's just the solenoid switch, or the entire transmission? Because I hope it's the former because replacing just the solenoid would be much cheaper than replacing the whole tranny.
Good question, I hope someone answers it because I'm curious about that too
You need to replace the Sputnik vacuum valve under the transmission picke plate. Its easy to spot, because it's right behind the gear nook. Hope this helps👍

I love the break down how your explain what each action and reaction is.
Thank you for the information. Driving home last night (any where from 40 - 70 mph) with no stops, until in town, my 2009 Chrysler Town & Country stalled. Started up in neutral, shift to Drive, and it stalled again. Kept trying, was able to get it going and found it would run/drive using manual D1, D2, etc. Works okay in reverse. No engine light though? Prior to this stalling problem I have noticed at stop lights, the engine seems to idle at higher RPM. But not all the time. Taking it to the transmission shop for professional diagnosis. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
I know this is an old comment but did you find out what the problem was?
My 2000 ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT 4 wheel drive is doing similar, and there is no check engine light, but my ABS light is on.
My vehicle won't even go in reverse or allow me to shift to Park. I only can drive if I put the gear in 2.😬
I was told it was my Shift Solenoid that needs replacing.🤔
@@flowersfam3462Had a 2,000 bid to open it up and work on it. But the mechanic did not really want to do it. The other transmission shop would not even consider checking the solenoid. So I chose to replace the transmission (they gave me a 3 year warranty on the new one).
Three days after it was fixed my battery died.

@@JB2FROSTY the solenoids are not to expensive. Worth changing to see if it helps. The one I did had a code for a shift solenoid circuit fault.
2 days ago my older 2000 F250 (only 136,000 miles on it) went "clunk" and the whole truck lurched - then it was like it was stuck in a low gear. I still had to drive a mile home - it did this 3 more times, lurching like it was about to stop, stuck in a low gear and higher rpm's - but it got me and my groceries home - and I haven't touched it since. Least now I know what to tell the mechanic. Thanks.

i had that on my old ford taurus, i think it was a trans mount
Taurus 02. Starting cold, It wont shift out of 1rst gear. After 5 minutes warming up, I can then shift freely all day until it cools. New Transmission fluid and filter.
This is a great video! I have a 2000 automatic Maxima and I was driving the car yesterday and all of a sudden it wouldn’t switch gears. So I turned off the car and turned it back on and it started driving normal for a couple of minutes then it started acting up again, then the check engine light came on.

This happened to me for the first time this year and thought my transmission was done!!!!! It turned out to be my tcm so I got it repaired and now it’s better than before. But it still shifts a little weird between 1-2 sometimes.
could you make a video on how to change or clean the shift solenoid ?
that's a good one .
With the tran fluid pan removed, you simply pull it off, it clicks on like any wire connector. Looking is knowing.

Do you always get a code for a shift solenoid? My trans stays stuck in a gear. It doesn't act like a slipping transmission to me. It's a 2003 Ford F-250 with a 6.0

sometimes my car could not shift gear the engine just revs and that is it.so I went to change transmission oil it was black.put new one and went to a shop that uses a special machine that is for changing transmission oil .believe it or not at my last transmission oil the people told me they do notnhave the proper equipment sp they could oybtake out only 40% old oil.noq they took 90%of the old oil.
now the car shifts way better than before and so far does not stuck and does thebold problem but I still think new solenoids would help.
@@EPICSOUNDTRAXthey did a complete flush vs a drain and fill. Some people recommend against it as it can potentially cause more damage
With all the great mechanics that have posted good advice here, I was hoping ya'll could diagnose my 2004 Buick Lesabre with 98k miles on it. I took it to our transmission shop in winter 2023. He changed fluid & filter & put in Lucas trans fix but found nothing wrong with it since there are no Transmission codes. You feel the shift just a little bit... more at lower gears. It doesn't start until your engine is warmed up.
I'd like to get it fixed before it gets any worse. Car has been well taken care of so hoping to get at least another 50k mi out of it.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
What if it’s holding gears before shifting in my case it’s 2-3 gear shifting late. replaced the fluid still does it

Not shifting out of first is often a computer issue.
Disconnect the battery and touch the battery cables together to drain any juice out of the vehicle. Then leave it disconnected for 10 minutes. This will reset the computer.
Which solenoid though? A is the typical one I'm seeing in my research that is the one to change.
I'm hoping ours is that problem . It's doing exactly what you described. Also it seems to do it more on the days where we run a lot. But when it does the tachometer shuts down and the speedometer.
My 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S is throwing code P0746 line pressure solenoid A closed. Showing all symptoms in video.
What about a sudden and quick jerking, as if a pothole was hit but definitely wasn't.

Great video thank u!! I drive a 08 Lexus IS250. When slowing down and almost about to come to a complete stop I feel a slight bump. Do you know what that can be related to?? I have no check engine light. And I just got the car so I'm not sure if the training fluid or filters was ever change.
i just got a ls400 like last week and it’s doing the same thing💀
@@2righteous I got an update. So I did an engine oil flush using motor medic. I then change my engine oil, filter, and spark plugs, and did a full throttle buddy cleaning down to removing the intake manifold and soaking the intake passages which were full of carbon and slosh. I used seafoam for that. Additionally, I change my front and rear brakes complete with new rotors. Miraculously that surge or bump I was feeling when coming to a complete stop has now disappeared. I'm guessing it had something to do with the carbon cleaning I did and not at all transmission related. What ever it was I no longer have that issue.🤗
This is a long shot hoping someone will chime in with some advice. I just had my transmission rebuild on a 2015 gmc Sierra 5.3. - I feel like the mechanic has done something incorrect. he has had it for a month now. has retired it to me a few times and the truck is not shifting correct. once up to full operating temp it will slip badly going into 2nd. Instead of shifting it will go into neutral and the revs will go up fast until I let off the gas , then it will usually clunk into gear , it goes through all the other gears fairly normally. he is claiming that the truck has to go thru a "learn cycle" than can take multiple days of driving it with these symptoms. sometimes it will just stick in second until oi come to a complete stop then it will go back to normal for a little while. it is also leaking a considerable amount of fluid, took it back twice for just the fluid leak and he keeps saying its fixed but then I take it home and its leaking. he said "sometimes it will leak a little at first"....none of this seems correct. the truck only has 80,000 miles on it and I do not think it even needed a transmission , the whining noise it was making that brought me in the begin with has not been resolved with the rebuild. this shop is where my warranty required me to take it and has very good reviews so I felt like it was a reputable shop. Is it true that a 2015 gmc transmission requires a re-learn period like this and do these sound like normal symptoms of that? I paid a lot of money for this truck and feel like this guy may have destroyed it. the amount of time it is taking is also excessive seeming to me. PS there is no check engine light or trans light coming on and this is why he says nothing is wrong. he has finally agreed it shouldn't be leaking trans fluid so it is back there again for that to be fixed.
Will I be able to go in reverse if solenoids messed up? The suburban won't go in forward gears but will go in reverse. Could that be the solenoids?
hey did you get it fix
Hi! How are you? I have a problem with my ram 5.7 2016 with automatic gearbox. The problem is that when the truck need to put the 5th gear the revolutions going up but the gear is not into. Is like you press the clutch in a manual car and accelerate. I changed the valves box and also the solenoides for the another model but the same piece, because my ram has an grey connector and I puted a green one. Thanks so much 😁
So how does it get fixed? Just change transmission fluid or replace solenoid too?
My car only delays in shifting when i first go into drive but the rest of the day it works perfectly fine. Would it still be a solenoid?
Wow this makes so much sense now
Would a bad Shift Solenoid be the cause of my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 not moving out of park? I won't go frontward or backward. I bought brand new transmission fluid and oil and that didn't fix it... I was thinking along the lines of a linkage problem.

Great video from you man; I swap the engine and gear box of my Honda 1989 model in another body of 2001 model but since after the my Honda gear began to bang or kick and not changing to other gears what could be the most cause of this?
A friend's Chevrolet truck went into "limp mode" and wouldn't change into 3rd gear. He fired the parts cannon and had spent all kinds of $$ trying to figure out what it was. I came over while he and his "automotive tech" neighbor were standing around the truck scratching their heads. Lol when I asked if he tried replacing the transmission shift solenoid his "tech" buddy immediately blurted out "thanks but it wouldn't shift at all if it was bad."
Long story short.... It was the solenoid. I think he'd spend a couple hundred bucks already. Lol $18 for the solenoid, and around $40 bucks for pan gasket and new ATF was all he really needed.
which one of the 5?
