Depends on which one. Some are inside the transmission above the filter, and some are behind the side pan.

SOURCE: Olds silhouette heater blows cold air

as long as the engine temperature is normal, i would suspect a clogged heater core, the dex-cool antifreeze is notorious for building up deposits in cooling system. have heater core flushed first to see if it makes any difference

SOURCE: 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette ABS Light is on and

The first thing i would check is all 4 abs sensors at the wheels.You can do this with a volt meter set on ac voltage and spin the wheel if it generates voltage at all on the meter its good.

SOURCE: 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette. At times it seems

a bad tps sensor will cause: transmission shift issues, bucking, jerking, idle surging, engine cutoff, hesitation on takeoff, surge while cruising down highway. to check, remove connector from tps, use a ohms meter and probe center and any one of the other connectors,move throttle slow. if it jumps or does not stay steady while moving throttle, its bad. if the needle on ohms meter moves good then the tps is ok. move throttle plate slowly.

Where is the shift solenoid on a 2000 Oldsmobile silhouette located??

Inside the transmission . Which shift solenoid ? 1 - 2 , 3 - 4 , 2 - 3 ?
The shift solenoid valves are two identical, normally open, electronic exhaust valves that control upshifts and downshifts in all forward gear ranges. These shift solenoid valves work together in a combination of ON and OFF sequences in order to control the positions of the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shift valve trains. The PCM monitors numerous inputs in order to determine the appropriate solenoid state combination and the transmission gear for the vehicle operating conditions.

Transmission won't shift from third to drive

Well the first thing we need to know is if the trans is manual or automatic. I'm assuming auto. Make sure fluid is at correct level. An auto transmission is a glorified hydraulic pump. No fluid , no movement. The next thing to tackle would be the transmission solenoid(tcm, TCU, solenoid are common names to part) if the solenoid gets stuck. So does the transmission.

2003 olds shoulette won't shift to 3rd or drive

Check your transmission fluid. If it is anything but a nice, clear, red colour and/or if it smells burnt, the first thing to do is change the transmission oil and filter. It is amazing how often this clears up an automatic transmission. After that, it can get expensive, unfortunately.

Gear shift lever is broken. It moves through the gears without shifting into any gears and remains in Park. It feels like it is stripped.

Shift cable has probably broken off of the transmission or shifter end. Not to difficult to replace but cable will be pricey from dealer. 100.00-150.00

2003 sihouette starting to shift hard, or fells like it jumps into 1st gear after backing up in morning after car sat all night

Only way to get an answer is to get it diagnaosed. There is nothing you can do at home.
There is no way for us to give an answer without first looking at all the sensor data and seeing if any codes are stored. .

2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette shifts into gear hard

try having your transmission filter changed there only about 15 - 20 bucks but you will have to buy transmission fluid. ive seen that solve that problem in a few vechiles. if you do it yourself there is a magnet located in the transmission pan that you have to remove to change the filter and if it is full of metal shavings i suggest asking a local transmission shop about having trouble with that type of vechicle
