Re: Torque Converter Solenoid
Thanks Reg. Well we got the solenoid changed without too much trouble other than lots of time. My husband and a friend changed it. They ended up pulling the motor 3/4 of the way out so they could get the side panel cover open. The check engine light went off but the transmission was slipping afterwards. He followed the instructions for filling the tranny fluid (running engine, pulled plug on bottom etc) so that shouldn't be the problem. We drove it yesterday and the check engine light came on and the tranny fluid was reddish brown when he checked that. He changed the fluid (again) and the light was still on and the transmission was slipping still. I took it in today to get the codes read at a place near us and it read torque converter solenoid stuck off (same code as before) and incorrect gear ratio. The only thing the guy could think of to be wrong is a clutch is going bad in there. He said the only way to repair that is to rebuild the transmission which of course is costly. Any other ideas?
