Be prepared to have the old gasket baked on the transmission, and very little room to scrape the surface clean. The trans lines will be in the way, the exhaust manifold will be in your way, the cooling fans will be in your way, the radiator hose will be in your way, and lastly the huge wiring loom will be in your way.
I overhauled my 41TE 1997 DGC, (with 270K km, I'm the 2nd maybe 3rd owner, and my first car in Canada and no budget for shop overhaul). It has downshift bump when bought it and after a year of careful use and maintenance (tranny & engine change oil), it went to "limp mode". It will not shift to 2nd or 3rd but has the reverse. The code (I can't remember the #) says "internal mechanical issue". I replaced all plates, clutches, rings, 2 speed sensors, UD clutch, checked/cleaned/flushed the solenoid body, torque converter, pump, new ATF+4 but re-use the old solenoid pack. Before that I tested this SP and the ohms are good within specs. The reason is I can still replace it later if the downshift bumps persist. After the overhaul, all codes were gone but the bump is still there, just like the tranny was before the limp-mode. After running some +300km., I replaced the SP with new Wagner. The van works well smoothly during road test but reverts to its old bumps today just after some 50 km. What else should I need to check/do to remove the bumps, there's no code. I know that if I these bumps continue, it will to totally erase the spline of the sun and planetary gear assembly. I found out this was the reason why the tranny went on "limp-mode", because the assembly was no more mechanically connected and not driving the shaft due to total loss of spline. I replaced this assembly in the overhaul and did the air clutches test with good results. I have not yet tried the re-learn by scanner. Please help. I love this van. Thank you for reading and advise.
Why does this video not include instructions for setting the pinnon factor and. Quick Lean ?? After installation of the transmission control modular TCM
Ok I'm doing this right now. I drained the pan. The problem is i stripped two of the bolts on the pan. Buy most of the trans fluid is out , could I still take the three bolts off the valve body ?
I appreciated the video... My only suggestion is to start with a list of tools and sizes necessary to do the job... And initially show where it is located...I know you show it when reinstalling...anyway all good Thanks!
patchedboard. It's right on top. It may have a rubber cover over it. In the clip you can see the cooling lines right above it, but I don't see any cover. On mine.....94.....its got a cover. If you don't feel comfortable doing this job, don't. The last thing you need is to damage the trany.
p0700 code check engine, then two days later ..got hard clunk..then a few miles later, coasted to a stop. The car would not park or drive in gear. White smoke from the top hole.. local shop said to rebuild, but I do not know if that has to be done. How do I tell what needs to be done? Can anything be done that is like this solenoid install and topping up fluid to fix it ?
I just replaced solenoid on 2010 T&C, and I drove it around to see if issues still existed(putting into gear and not moving/driving and it goes out as if its in Neutral) once I got back it was leaking trans fluid. Should I just put back on original solenoid? I adjusted dowels on New 1 to match Old 1(all the dowels was pretty much low close to be flush level to surface)
i hope you respond to me.. my step dad did mine an it work just fine when he fixed, let me give you a step by step of what happen.. hey didnt remove the cored from the battery did he need too.. if so why.. next he drive it a few times up the street and is there a speed to stay at he said he also went over 60miles, then i drove it up an down just to see how it feels, i didnt drive it fast but then i felt a slight pop then the check engine light went on. should i of drove it for 30mins after it was installed an why? anything we need to look out for again.. the codes i got was p0700 and p0760.. haven't checked it again. but will as soon.. when i have the money..
This is similar to the issue I was having before the solenoid failed and threw me a check engine light. I pulled codes and it identified it as a solenoid in the solenoid assembly.
hi exelente video . my only question is I did mine on a 2003 Dodge neon did everything according but did not tab the guide like you did with the hammer I just installed as it came but did first the middle bolt then the one on the right then the one on the left then lose all and re tight same way as before have no leaks you thinks is ok, I also replace high and low pressure sensors but still have little rought shifting from first to second downshift seems fine.
So I do have the P0700 code, but how do I diagnose and narrow down that it is in fact the shift solenoid? All symptoms point to it but is there a special scan tool for this seeing as it's looking like an electrical issue? Thanks!
Go to an auto parts store and have them use the OBD II scanner. You will get a complete list of error codes, what they mean and where you should take the car and burn it.
I scanned it myself and got the P0700 code then I went to a transmission shop and they used a special scan tool and it showed tranmission computer fault and that I'd have to leave the van for more diagnostic, but I am pretty sure it was this solenoid but he just didn't want to tell me because I'd just fix it myself. I found the solenoid and two speed sensors (which could also be the issue) for $150 CAD shipped all in, won't hurt to try it.
Roy Mariñas I just found the same set for 84 at stores.ebay.com/Phoenix-Transmission-Parts?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 So I am also orderingthe wiring to go with the sensors. May as well. Total 101 with free shipping and 3 day delivery.
Hi, would you know why a 2003 town and country van transmission sometimes doesn't go into gear at start up and possible other gears? It doesn't happen all the time. Owner says fluid is good and full.
Hi what are the 5 or 6 bolts right under the solenoid pack? I saw that they were out so I tightened them up which I’m thinking now if that was a good idea. I see in your caravan I can see the bolts are backed out too? From top view with the solenoid pack out you can see the bolts/screw right below gasket area.
Have any tips for extracting a snapped solenoid mounting bolt? Unfortunately I watched a youtube video posted by MotorCity Mechanic and the guy posted that the torque value was 106 in. pounds and confused the measurement by saying 20 ft.lbs for the speed sensor, why I don't know... I mean how many torque wrenches read in in. pounds. Guess transmission repair work for him is a way to make big bucks by making things unnecessarily confusing. So the plan here is to heat the casing up and try grabbing what remains of the bolt to back it out.
equipt4sound. You need to use an easy out. Drill a hole in the broken bolt, then find a easy out bit to get in the hole. Use heat on the out side to help. Bolt should come out.
2002 T&C 3.8 leaking from around the Trans control ass., is this a common problem> Do I need to replace the unit or gasket? The leak seems to specifically come from the the plate that says do not remove. Help, without help I cannot get this fixed and go to school (missing a week already).
Hi! I have the following problem with my Chrysler grand Voyager 96 versus 3.3 l with automatic gear: starts and runs smoothly on idle and also at Gas pull in free. But when I put it in drive and drive, the error comes when I release the accelerator and the speed decreases to normal, occasionally, the lower one decreases and the car engine stops. Must put it in neutral and restart it. What is the problem, do you have any suggestions? Have had the wrong coder _ 0171 and last 0731 (google translate)
I put mine in but it began leaking trans fluid then I went back tighten bolts and still leaking next step for me is to see if the ft lbs are correct I got a meter to be able to measure any advice? I know if the torque is correct and it continues to leak I'll have to reheck the gasket to make sure it's on correctly even though I think it's on correct 😂😂
i have a dodge journey 2011 2.4 L and i have been having simalar problem but i am not getting check engin lights wath it does its a hard shifting from the second to third gear but onlt if i give it a lot of gas

I have a 99 Dodge Grand Caravan it's showing codes P0 500 and P 1698 I have replaced speed sensors shift solenoid control module handmade computer along with the ignition it's still stuck in limp mode I've been chasing a wiring problem and cannot find the problem please help
hello. i have a 2009 chrysler town and country. it has gone into limp mode and will not shift into the higher gears. it has a trouble code now of PO76A SHIFT SOLENOID H MALFUNCTION. how do i repair this issue. any info would be appreciated. also when i stop driving the vehicle and put it in park turn it off and restart it, then it shifts just fine for sometimes a couple of blocks or even a couple of miles. if i repeat this it will shift fine for the same amount of time. my van has the 62TE 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH THE 3.8 V-6 ENGINE.

Excellent Video with good lighting. This will make the job a breeze. Thank You !
Donward 👋
Besides the codes did you have any symptoms?
Hi 👋
Excellent Video congrats!!! This will make the job easier. Thank You!
good and clear explanation THANKS
Ok I'm doing this right now. I drained the pan. The problem is i stripped two of the bolts on the pan. Buy most of the trans fluid is out , could I still take the three bolts off the valve body ?
What sizes was the bolts and the sensor you took out ? How much transmission fluid you lose .
Torque to 10 ft-lbs damaged thread, I put RTV on gasket and torque to 8 ft-lbs...now, no leak.
James Lee
You made this look to easy. And do you need to have the tray flushed after this. It seams like the fluid would get contaminaded doing it this way.
No info on part location or socket size?
If a 2006 T&C van feels like it's stuck in 2nd gear and won't much go over 40mph; will this part fix it?
Im asking the same, I will get one in the junkyard to discard this part
I appreciated the video... My only suggestion is to start with a list of tools and sizes necessary to do the job... And initially show where it is located...I know you show it when reinstalling...anyway all good Thanks!
You didn't cover where to find the part on the transmission.
patchedboard. It's right on top. It may have a rubber cover over it. In the clip you can see the cooling lines right above it, but I don't see any cover. On mine.....94.....its got a cover. If you don't feel comfortable doing this job, don't. The last thing you need is to damage the trany.
It's pretty easy. Just remove the air filter cartridge and the air inlet plenum. The solenoid pack is directly underneath.
I know this is a 2001 in the video, is this the same process for a 2000 dodge caravan?

i hope you respond to me.. my step dad did mine an it work just fine when he fixed, let me give you a step by step of what happen..
hey didnt remove the cored from the battery did he need too.. if so why..
next he drive it a few times up the street and is there a speed to stay at he said he also went over 60miles,
then i drove it up an down just to see how it feels, i didnt drive it fast but then i felt a slight pop then the check engine light went on.

Selenoide
Como se cambia un selenoide de carro corola 2003
Car would automatically go high on the rpms, hesitate on the shifting, and feels like it is losing power uphill. Will the solenoid fix the problem.

Could be timing also

My 2001 Caravan has actually been great to me for it's age and mileage, and I have no car payments so no need to burn it yet.
I am just a little frustrated. But the first part of my response is correct. O'Reilly's auto here in AZ gave me a complete printout of all issues.
I scanned it myself and got the P0700 code then I went to a transmission shop and they used a special scan tool and it showed tranmission computer fault and that I'd have to leave the van for more diagnostic, but I am pretty sure it was this solenoid but he just didn't want to tell me because I'd just fix it myself.
