CRV shift solenoid replacement

Changing the shift solenoid on my 2001 Honda CRV. Will work the same for all 97-01 CRV 2 and 4wd

I am lost i need information. My crv doesnt go into 1st gear but all the other gears work can it be a solenoid?

[@steve-os2wi]

the part you changed is the lockout A/B solenoids. the "Shift A/B solenoids" are on the bottom of the transmission under a metal cover. There is also a linear solenoid just above the shift solenoids. Shift solenoid P/N is 28200-P4R-003. Lockout P/N is 28300-P24-J01. The linear solenoid is P/N 28250-P4R-315, also known as the "AT Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid".

How do you determine which ones need to be replaced. Mine hangs in 3rd gear and takes a while to shift into 4th gear. I also get a torque converter lock up circuit engine light when driving at steady hwy speed 70mph+. No CEL if im just putterin around town though and it seems to be running fine aside from the delay into 4th gear.

I saw the other solenoid on the bottom front but haven’t seen any others on top by these even on the other trans I have

[@steve-os2wi]

There are two actuators on the bottom front. One looks like similar to the one you removed, its under a metal cover. That is the shift solenoid The linear solenoid is directly above the metal cover. its held in with 4 bolts and looks like a tube with an electrical connector on it s end.

This is some fantastic info, thanks!

​@Mr.Grim_USMC did you fixed the issue, I have the same issue no check engine

[@CatMan81]

Is there a solenoid on the bottom side?

[@Torchred00_c5]

Yes there’s another solenoid on the front side at the bottom, iirc correct it’s a clutch solenoid, been a minute since I read up on it, that’s next when I get time to get back on it. Hopefully that one will fix the issue because I really don’t wanna swap the transmission

[@randymarte9551]

Any updates on the work?

[@Torchred00_c5]

Not yet, haven’t had much free time to jump back on it and swap out the front solenoid

[@accessdenied2010]

Good job, but this is not shift solenoids, these are lock-up solenoids a&b for torque converter

[@Torchred00_c5]

Thanks, always been called shift solenoids and when I bought the new one it was labeled shift solenoid 🤷‍♂️

[@NickyMaikel]

Anyone know the location for the shift solenoid
