Draining transmission fluid and replacing solenoids and hit a snag...

[zadam123]

hi just came acrooss this thread. I just had my tranny rebuilt which cost me 1500 problem i am having now is when upshifting from 3-4 and downshifting from 2-1 there is a hard shift and a bang. this is a intermittant problem and brought the car to the mechanic 4 times until he actually felt it. it comes and goes and can last days sometimes then go away for a week.

the mechanic said its a pressure solenoid. did your car do this? also he said this wasnt changed in the rebuild, is it supposed to be?

Zadam,

I didn't have that banging problem, I only had the not wanting to shift from 3rd to 4th. But since I was doing one solenoid, I did them all. Just be careful of the wiring harnesses, they are very fragile.

Thanks for the reply I was looking on the website where you bought the solenoids and notice that the EPC solenoid does not look like it's for our transmission underneath something. It looks like the kit comes with 4 solenoids and you have to purchase the EPC separate but underneath it says if you have a 2000 model was your VX a 2000 or a 99? My vehicle is a 99 so do you know if I would have that selonid? Also just curious if you ever got a check transmission or check engine light code. I have that banging and because of that banging I blew out my transmission and never once got a check engine or check transmission light
