Honda 2001 Accord fixing shift solenoids shifting problem fix

Showing shift solenoid cleaning on a 2001 Honda Accord

[@jackmiller5624]

I have a 2001 Accord (185,000mi) which had this problem, I removed and cleaned both shift solenoid assemblies located on top of the transmission, problem solved. Afterwards I did a flush. (Drain, fill, drive 3 times).

Have the same issue, 98 lx. did all the solenoid cleaning and changed the fluid but it still shifts down hard into 1st coming to a stop. I've noticed it only starts to happen when the engine gets fully hot, after some freeway driving or a lot of in town driving. Most people say it's just prolonging time to the inevitable failure but the fact it doesn't happen constantly is what makes me think I can do something about it.

Did you end up fixing the problem?

[@Lifeofnuggs]

I have a very similar problem with my 2000 accord v6. When I leave the car for 30 off for minutes or so the shifting returns to normal and then it gets worse in stop and go traffic or driving up hills.

[@raulbenavides9201]

@@Lifeofnuggs I have the same problem with my 2002 Honda Accord. I tried everything to solve this problem but it’s always the same outcome so what I do is baby the hell out of my car and be patient with it until I can find me a new/used car :/ pitiful really

I have a 98 Acura Cl 3.0. These engines are knows as the J30A1. My car was driving normal. But one day it just flashed D4. And the car would accelerate slooowww. And once I reached 40 mph. The car would drive regular. But when I would go to a stop sign, I would have to restart. Just wondering if this’ll. Work

Thank you!!!

[@1supamonsta]

thanks for the advise. Did this help improve the transmission shifting?

[@unlimitedprojects7940]

Yes it does

[@dometricsanders8050]

My 2001 Honda drives up like 30miles an hr and start to shift in and out of gears ...what should I do

[@cameronhanes7658]

If you were to replace it would you drain the transmission fluid before you remove it then when you got it in fill it or does it really matter

[@gfriedman99]

Replace the fluid before you remove it otherwise you will just clog the screens again.

Hi I have a 02 accord se when I start it no power in d4 or d3 so I have to put it in 2nd then d3 then d4 it is a automatic help ASAP!!

I have a 2000 Accord 2.3L automatic with 305k miles on it and it recently started to shift hard and the D4 started flashing. You think if I did this it would help with the shift?

[@jleffew96]

My 01 v6 Honda does that from time to time when cold

[@florentinocastillo7180]

That most likely will be your vehicle speed sensor. When the d4 flashes it means the vehicle speed sensor is not reading

[@gfriedman99]

Yes it will help absolutely.

[@javier-m75]

That is not a bad idea. Lets keep it in the PM to do. thanx

[@Dman90]

I recently replaced 4 of these solenoids. Now the car is not shifting and it won't let me engage the shifting column into d1

I have a 2001 Honda Accord lx and the transmission is automatic and when I try to put full power down it doesn’t shift it gets to rpm 5 and jerks like it’s stuck but when I drive normally u kno not street racer mode it shifts ok it gets high revs when it shifts sometimes. Do u kno what the cause of that is bc I don’t wanna buy a new transmission

[@660htxraptor5]

🤬🤬🤬 I’m so pissed I got a 01 accord swapped the transmission because it was shifting hard and wouldn’t shift good when I would drive it and when I would shift to reverse it wouldn’t even go into reverse I swapped the transmission from a 98 accord and it started running good but then after an hour of driving it started doing the same bull 💩 y’all think if I clean the solenoids my car would be fine please some one answer!!!!

[@josedelacruz201]

How many miles does it have? & did you fix it?

I have a 06 civic. 1.6 liter. Automatic. I cant find the solenoids to save my life! Where are they?

96. Not 06

Can you soaked it with soap and water on the solenoid to get the gunk out?

Idk I don’t think so just use wd 40
