However, in the case of the " shift solenoid pack", such like this dodge solenoid pack, you need to replace whole valve body as solenoids are integrated into a part of the valve body. Whenever transmission solenoid goes wrong, you can replace only the faulty only. In some cases, some models are designed to integrate solenoid into valve body and we call such design as " shift solenoid pack". If lucky, when it is 3rd solenoid for 3-4 gear shift going wrong, you still can drive as the solenoid 1 and 2 enables our transmission to shift gear 1 to 3. The 1st solenoid is for 1-to-2 gear shift, the 2nd one for 2-to-3 gear shift and etc.Īny faulty solenoid will lead to loss of fluid flow control and fail to shift the right gear. Which means, you will have 3 solenoids if vehicle is a four-speed transmission. Normally, transmission system tends to have 1 less solenoid than the gears quantity. You can check this video for more information.įrom the photo, you can understand how the solenoid works.īy the way, there are different solenoids for different parts in our car.Įxample, the VVT solenoid, the lockup solenoid, the transmission shift solenoid and the transmission control solenoid.īasically they have similar function and work in same principle. Take myself as example, I spent thousands on replacing my Honda accord transmission and I was so regretful that I didn’t check out the transmission solenoid first. If you sense the automatic transmission is acting erratically, very possible it could be the transmission solenoids are failing. Together with the electro-hydraulic valves, they open and close in time in response to the electrical signals from the vehicle’s computer which collects the data from the speed sensors. The solenoid controls the flow of transmission fluid throughout the transmission system. The transmission solenoid is one of the automatic transmission’s critical components. Yes, its function is similar to the other solenoids in different areas. Transmission solenoids, mounted on the valve body, play the role to adjust transmission fluid flows in valve body and to active proper clutch & gear.
