when i take off from a dead stop the car shakes till it go's into second gear then it is fine. but if i take of from a dead stop and just barely push the gas pedal it is fine could it be the transmission control solenoid iv replaced both of the cv axles and the control arm bushings and sway arm links and has not helped at all
The relearn process can be done with out the DRBIII.The Snap On Modis can do it too.With Chrysler automatics,don't use dextron and use the ATF+4 fluid only.The Chrysler transmissions shift and work better with the ATF+4 fluid.The middle bolt,remove the speed sensor and can get to the bolt with a socket
Hi richpin, when you replaced the shift solenoid did you had to perform the "Quick Learn Procedure" with a DRBIII scan tool in order for the car to work. I have the Repair Manual from Dodge and it says that that procedure is necessary when replacing the shift solenoid. I ask this question because I replaced the solenoid and the transmission is still stuck on 2nd. I have also replaced the oil and filter and also the input speed sensor and output speed sensor and still the transmission is stuck.
shifts OK into 1 and 2 .... but RPMs go up and up for 3rd and 4th (foot on gas accelerating), but the cars doesn't speed up .... i'm stuck on 1st and 2nd.
-Solenoid problem ?
-Should i reset by disconnecting battery ?
-No OD light flashes in dashboard
-No ''CHECK ENGINE'' light
- No codes have been taken fron vehicule (we just added fluid to tranny)
Nice job.I have a 2001 Grand caravan 3.3 L. My transmission defaults to 1st gear sometimes. I was told it was a Transmission control solenoid, or, a solenoid on the firewall (expensive). I was told when it heats up a circuit opens and defaults to 1st gear. When it cools down she runs fine. I was quoted 400.00, 320.00 for the part, 80.00 labor. I would prefer to fix it, but not sure which solenoid to replace. Which one do you think it might be based on the symptom? Thanks..
wow! You look like a doctor performing surgery! Good thing she pulled through! Good show man. thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You're doing a fine thing and good always returns many fold. Keep up the great work!
i have a code 756 on my tundra, ( i just purchased vehicle 92K MILES) and the tranny level was low refilled ( couldnt find where it was leaking from ) and code came back ( it wont shift in to OD ) all of the other shifts are nice and smooth, my question is..could the tranny be damaged, or can it still be saved by replacing the solenoid THANKS!!!!
@NewWorldCorp I do not do enough transmission work to give you a definitive answer on this one.That being said i would not think you did any damage seeing that it shifts normally .
i have a 2002 dodge neon, the transmission on it was fine but started to fail after the temperature went up, i mean it would drive fine for the first few miles and then it would just rev like the car was in neutral. i replaced the transmission and still have the same problem. please help me.
Someone online said transmission cooler might help.
hi, the two connetions you removed and labelled when you removed the 8mm bolt from solenoid were the shift senors, also when you put back the new solenoid you should cover the diaphram with something to stop dirt dropping in during re-assembley
Nice video vary helpful, was wondering if this could be my problem. I have a 2001 ford escort zx2 and when it shifts into second it kinda shifts hard then it shifts early into third and will never shift into 4th inless in over drive.
great video Rich...i think this might be the same problem im having but hopefully it's just the pan gasket. gotta check first if it's leaking from up by the solenoid as you mentioned. now i gotta get my lazy butt off this computer n actually do some work. B-)
@richpin06a im not a mechanically inclined person so im starting an auto tech 101 class tomorrow..wish me luck..u got a cool lil accent. u must be from the east coast/eastern seaboard.
great video, i'm going to replace mine on a plymouth voyager 2000 hope its as easy as you make it look, also i'm glad mine is under the vehicle, any big difference?
this is a great video , I hope to god I don't ever have problems with that thing. The solenoid. Golly you had to remove the throttle body ,too. Ah so that's the Solenoid, thing looks like something out of a horror movie, lol. How many miles should you get off of that thing?? Oh and what's the most I should pay for the part?

Hey, Richpin. Great video! Just a reminder to those out there that this model (2002) Dodge is a 4T which are one up from the 3T or 3 speed transmission which has the Trans. Lock-up Solenoid (TCC) located on the inside of the trans. You can only access it by dropping the pan. However, I find on 2002 and up that it is really convenient to have the shift module mounted on the outside. Any neon questions, just PM me. I have a 2001 neon that I work on most of the time.
@richpin06a Hey, Rich, for sure. Although, I gotta tell you that alot of your test methods and repair vids have helped me ALOT on my neon. Really good videos. I am just gonna say, I am a number one fan among many of your fans. So, I am always looking forward to any new work. I hope you will offer up your critique once I have some of my own vids up and running. I am working on a few -- they are in the editing process. Once again, thanks for doing this on youtube.
Transmissions eh? My car, a Toyota Camry of the 1996 vintage has trouble going into the overdrive when cold when it never has before. What do you think could be wrong? When it's really cold out this is worse but when the engine can warm up fast it's okay. I know overdrives are not supposed to work until the engine is hot, but the engine never has had an issue getting into that top gear before.
@ACTORDAVIDTRAN : Hey, I am by no means a trans specialist but there are two issues to look at: first, the turbine speed sensor TSS and the Temperature fluid sensor TFS. Many 90s model trans. have these sensor s or solenoids, built into their design. You would have to check specifics on your model. I would start with the TFS as this can affect torque converter and lock-up when the sensor is not reading the ATF fluid correctly. I would also make sure your throttle cable is adjusted properly
PS, this is a common problem on the Dodge Caravan too! Another quality Dodge product, like I said, Al Bundy drove a Dodge and look where that got him.
@mtlh05 I remember that I saw it. The car ended up rolling backwards and resetting before he got the Viper. The point was, Dodge Chrysler products are just shit.
When removing and replacing the shift solenoid, wouldn't it have make the job easier if you removed the two little hoses and placed them out of the way?
@richpin06a Al Bundy drove a Dodge and it was POS. Let's not forget that past Neon you worked on, I believe you said it went through three transmissions?
@richpin06a no since i awlays here problems about them, this was was the successer tot the dodge colt. they have crappy defrosters etc, and they breakdown alot or aleast my moms did
