If you had bad shift soleniods a check engine light would have come on . You have a valve body problem . This vehicle does not have a TCM - has a PCM - powertrain control module ! Controls engine an transmission . Your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop .

You started at the wrong end. The speed sensor controls the function of those solenoids you just replaced. Did you change the transmission Fluid and filter, it was due at 80,000 miles. Perform an OBDII scan of the stored fault history. let the OBDII scan be your guide to repairs, to avoid buying parts you don't need. Loss of speed sensor signal will result in no torque converter lock up or overdrive as well as no down shift back to 1st.

SOURCE: When trans shifts into overdrive it shifts at high rpms?

No not likely. Is the 3-4 shift rough? What speed are you going when it shifts into 4th? It likely just needs the T.V. cable adjusted.

SOURCE: truck will start but shift indicator wont light up

Are you sure it wont take off in first gear? The indicator on the dash only shows what gear you put it in.

I have a 1998 ford f-150 4.6 liter and it slips in overdrive but when overdrive is turned off doesnt slip but only shifts up one gear first to second what is wrong

It sounds like you have lost overdrive and it is slipping in third. Being a 1998, likely with a lot of miles the trans has probably burnt the direct clutches. If the ATF has a burnt smell then it's time for an overhaul.

I have an 1988 f-350 diesel with an auto the trans is new but wont shift into overdrive,first and second and third shift really firm but just wont go in fourth

Its NEW? take it to whoever you got it from. The problem may not be IN the trans, but a trans shop need to check it out to see why its not going into overdrive.

1997 ford taurus 3.0 ltr trans wont shift into overdrive. first thrugh third gears shift fine but it doesnt try to shift into overdrive at all. the trans shows no signs of slipping and the fluid looks...

Solenoid pack in trans. Position module,is just that. Wrong guess. What tran model do you have? You also have other sensors to consider but have to know the trans your working on and the computer and shift stratagy involved to solve this,even if your throwing parts at it.

The overdrive light flashing and shifted hard. 2001 f250 deisel

This is going to be a shift solonoid problem. they are located on the bottom of the trans inside the trans pan. I would have it checked soon before it does internal damage will save you a lot of money.

Good Luck, And i hope this helps a bit.

Transmission will not shift into high gear

The honda uses a twin solonoid pack on top of the trans. It has 2 moving mechanical valves thet stick. Either remove the solonoid pack and free up the valves or replace pack. If you have the wheels off the ground pull the plug off the pack while running in third. No power at this pack will make the trans shift into 4 th. If it shifts into high gear you have isolated the problem

MY TRANS WONT SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR UNTIL IM DOING 45 MPH IT SHIFTS FINE IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN IT IS IN SECOND GEAR AND WONT SHIFT TO THIRD I CAN PUT IT IN N AND BACK TO OVERDRIVE THEN IT SHIFTS.

Most likely your shift cable (from the selector to the transmission) is worn, maybe needs lubrication. Mine had a similiar problem, but had to shift it into neutral and back up to get it in reverse. A new shift cable solved the problem.

My 95 olds cutlass v6 3.1L sometimes wont shift out of third gear and it just completely shut off on the thruway... what does this mean?

Its possibly a bad shift solonoid on the trans itself. These trannys' 4T60E have 3 solonoids for shifting 1 for 1st and 2nd, 1 for 2nd to 3rd, and 1 for 3rd to overdrive. Its quite possible that the valve is sticking in the valve body. This can be a somewhat difficult job to do. But the solonoids arent that expensive. I would suggest a trans fluid flush and a new screen/filter and see if that helps. If you take it to a dealer the solonoid/s replacement will be around $800 or more.

1st and 2nd shift error on code reader in trans

Shift error codes are enabled not only if the solonoids are faulty, does your scanner show you the solonoids switching? you could have a wiring fault. It could also be the pcm not allowing the solonoids to activate. These complicated systems are very difficult to diagnose for us profesionals with all the scanners and machines we have. Find a transmission shop in your area with a system to drive the vehicle bypassing the computor system, this will determine electrical or internal trans failure. But before you do anything check your conections from the transmission to the pcm. Also all the engine conectors and earth straps.

Chevy venture 2004 Transmission

Bring to tranny shop or repair shop, have it scanned for trouble codes, many electrical parts and solonoids in those trannys, possible it may just be a shift solonoid bad or needs adjustment, much cheaper than replacing tranny. good luck!
