      @ Easy Autofix Sir the car transmission is making whinning noise and delays in shifting gears, I checked for the fuel level is Ok, I checked for the oil still fresh not burned, I checked for any leaks no any leaks, I open the pan, but there were no any metal shavings on the magnets no any particles on the fluid, I decided to change the transmission filter, I checked and open the valve body no any clogs on the passages, I removed all solenoids I tested them all, and one was not working, I changed it with new one, I put back everything I test drive the vehicle no more whinning noise at all and gears are changing smoothly, but after two days as i drive reaching speed of 100 mph, the whinning noise started again, and the car struggles to exceed speed of 100mph, the RPM goes high and the speed is not achieved, I checked fluid level is OK. what can be the problem, and what can be done sir? Kindly help with ideas.

    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?

  • @Peter-pv8xx
    @Peter-pv8xx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Thanks for the video - and subscribed! - I have a 2002 Chevy Avalanche that recently experienced tranny coolant line failure... it was gushing out and ran low on trans. fluid. It was while driving it (constantly refilling the fluid) that I lost 3rd gear. In Drive it shifts fine from 1st to 2nd but when it goes to shift into 3rd gear it winds out as though it was just shifted into Neutral.
    Since this event I changed out the trans cooling lines, but it still does the same thing with a full trans fluid level and no leaks.
    Is it possible, with this symptom, that a shift solenoid went bad, or did I without question, fry my steel/friction plates with the low trans fluid condition?
    Thanks very much.

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.

    Is it possible to make the TV cable adjustment too many times? If so, what are the repercussions of doing that? I've been having issues, for about 6 months now, with my 94 Jeep XJ automatic shifting either too quick or too late, very erratic overall. I've replaced the TPS and have done this adjustment probably 20-25 times over the coarse of the last 6 mos. Yesterday, it started to not shift at all on the highway. I would press the gas and the RPMs would go up over 3000, but it would not accelerate and I had to coast it into a gas station. Went out and made the TV cable adjustment and then would crank, but not start. Repeated the adjustment 5-6 times and still wouldn't start. Unplugged the TPS and it started right up. Attempted to drive it the 5 miles home, with the TPS unplugged, but the same issue came up with it not shifting or accelerating. Is this what they call "limp mode"? Anyway, I pull over and plug the TPS back and try to start it and this time it started and mysteriously drove and shifted much better, although still not perfectly. Should I be looking at something in the transmission itself at this point? It's full of fluid and it's the stock AW4 tranny. Does any of this sound related to a neutral safety switch problem at all? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    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??

    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 😁

    Think this is happening to my 05 Nissan Ultima V6 also hard to change gears. Also hard to change gears from reverse to drive.

    My Hyundai 2016 when it's cold I can accelerate the car but when it warm it won't go anywhere. I changed the fluid but nothing happened. I think it might be a bad Solenoid but I need more help.

    My car first symptom was the check transmission light that came on with a flashing drive gear light while I was going 60 the speed limit on the freeway and the car switching to lymph mode as soon as the rpm arrow went above number 3 and got stuck there. The car started driving at least 40 mph while the speedometer still said I was going 60. I parked the car right on the side of the highway to let it cool off. Fast forward to 20 minutes later, The car was back to driving normally again. Following that about a couple of weeks later, I noticed weird gear shift delays regardless what gear I switched to unless I put it into park and following that, It makes a clunk noise coming directly from the transmission when it finally does switch.
    When I accelerate and reach close to 20 mph, A typical car with an automatic transmission switches to higher gears but mine gets stuck in gear and the engine starts revving harder and it jerks back to its appropriate gear. Upon inspection I did notice that the transmission is very low on fluid and the fluid is almost black. I took my car to the mechanic for a diagnostic and a fluid with filter and gasket change where he told me that the transmission needs to be replaced and upon further questioning, He told me that there’s no point in changing the fluid because the transmission is basically bare medal rubbing debris and that it would make the transmission run worse. It’s been about a month now and the car runs basically the same as it did when I visited the mechanic with no transmission failure and I’m thinking about bringing it to another mechanic for a second opinion when I have money. I would be more then glad to hear your guy’s opinions and suggestions if any as well. I’m very hopeful that the first mechanic was wrong.
