Transmission solenoid next to dipstick...

Postby Vogelsong » Sat Apr 06, 2013 2:13 pm

Does anyone have a pic of this thing I can download. It's right next to the trans. dipstick. Not only can I not find the part at any parts warehouse, I can't even find a pic of it to verify thats what I'll be buying when I do find it. The stores all seem to think it's called something different, and their calling it anything from a kickdown solenoid to a torque converter solenoid to a lockup solenoid.

So I need a pic of this thing, or a positive source to buy it.

Thanks.

I just looked at this thing again, and am now wondering how it comes out. It doesn't look like it's designed to be removed with a socket. So does it just pull out?

It's the torque converter lockup solenoid. Why are you trying to remove it? It doesn't come out from the top, you have to pull the transmission pan and pull it out from the bottom. I've never had one fail so I've never had to remove one though.

I was checking my connections due to the stalling issue I'm having and when I pulled the plug there was oil inside the solenoid where the plug goes.

So should it be replaced?
