Honda and Acura 5 speed automatic solenoid removal and screen cleaning. Slipping fix.

[@ThatGuyJacob-s1r]

Quick question so I have a 2005 Acura RL with a 3.5 and was wondering if it is in the same location

[@fatihkarakas5847]

Thank you for the video and your help. All gear shifts are great in my 2006 accord car. There is only a slight knock when going from 1 to 2. Could the problem be caused by this solenoid valve?

[@ridiculousrobby]

Is it a v6 accord? My accord v6 thunks into 2nd gear sometimes because my motor mounts are torn. I can hear my engine thunk when I give it decent acceleration from a stop

[@KevinK3vin0]

That would probably be the shift solenoid, the one's shown in this video are the pressure solenoid, I believe.

[@JustinMuhammad-y1w]

Hey i was just wondering where did you get the solenoids

[@DroopyD19]

What year, make, and model is the car in the video? I'm getting ready to do the same on mine, 1999 Honda Accord EX 6 cyl., for rough 1st-2nd gear shifting associated w rpms shooting up to 3 1/2 before 1st shift...

[@ridiculousrobby]

This is a 2005 Honda Accord v6 with the 5 speed automatic. I think the 4 speed automatic are similar but some stuff is in different locations. Look up a video of someone doing this to the 4 speed auto.

[@Devindollas]

Did you ever figure it out

[@alexandermutter929]

I want to buy an 05 TSX this is the only thing wrong with it think I could just bring the part and tools with me and put it on in the parking lot? Guy offered a discount for as is

[@hthekidd]

Hello quick question I tried my best if you can help me I think the transmission is slipping gear ⚙️ and I did transmission flush today still doing the same thing? Slipping I have these codes P0777 p1780 p1745 p0747 p0761

How can I remove that solenoid cap when it is the first time that I am going to remove it since it is very stuck

[@miketompkins2568]

I have a 2004 Accord 3.0 280;000. Trying to replace shift solenoid A. There is a bolt on top and shift solenoid B on the bottom..how do I get it out? It's halfway out but the bolt is keeping it from coming all the way out

[@ridiculousrobby]

Sorry for the late reply. Tbh I don’t know. I haven’t messed with those shift solenoids on my car, only the dual linear and pressure switches

[@7Gia_]

Hey, great video! Quick question. I have a 04 Accord 4-cyl auto and I’ve owned it for about 5 years. Every time I accelerate from 10-20km/h and the car is in 2nd gear (traffic) it’s like there’s a delay in acceleration and the car kind of “jumps” when the power kicks in. This happens during regular driving not hard acceleration. Really hard to explain. But I’m not sure if this will solve my problem. Any ideas? Thanks

[@SirCavemaninthewest]

Low fluid. Don't wait or it will overheat. Currently helping a friend with his 04 TL

[@ivi0900]

Hi there i have the same problem i switch thel fluid and the filter and still does the same thing but i have bo check engine light nothing should i clean the selenoid? I have accord euro type-s/tsx

[@luisfelix5058]

What was the main issue? Does it have anything to do with reverse not engaging?

[@ridiculousrobby]

It should not. The reverse in these cars is a shift fork that is engaged by a solenoid. Mine accord slams into reverse but my Acura TL type s doesn’t. I’ll see if the solenoid that engages reverse can be replaced easily.

[@glasser2819]

@@ridiculousrobby I have TL'04 with the Reverse bang (mounts are all ok..!) let's cut the chase: I believe it's a wonky shift solenoid valve or a plugged filter screen ( the big round one on top) or ??

[@ridiculousrobby]

G Lasser good point. My mounts are all good but it still slams into reverse. I haven’t changed the filter because I change my fluid often but I’ve heard about these filter just falling apart. Don’t know if it would effect the reverse shift though.

Question bro currently dealing w an issue where the transmission jumps on the first gear and after that i can only gas under 2500 rpm or it just revs after that. The transmission basically goes in limp mode and it i have to play with the throttle to get it to move. Any clue what it might be i have a code for transmission shift solenoid P0957 P0815

[@ridiculousrobby]

@@christophergrant1548 sorry for getting back to you so late, got locked out of my account. I would check the fluid with the car warm about 60 seconds after shutting it off. Make sure its filled and check the color of the fluid, if its really dark almost like black. Then changing the fluid might hurt it more. If it’s pinkish with some brown then you’re probably fine to change it. Checking and cleaning the solenoid screens like in the video is also not a bad idea on a high mileage car.

Just google your car and shift solenoid B. It will show you pictures of where it’s located and I would buy it off a Honda oem website

[@lastof4brothers]

Nice video. I have a 2007 Accord with same v6 engine. I recently started having slightly delayed and harsh 1-2 shifting especially when engine is cold. It gets better when warmed up, but not best. I also noticed delayed 2-1 shifting. When slowing down, it tends to remain in 2 till I give it gas to move off, then it comes to 1. But absolutely no slipping. Oil is good level and not burnt, no much shavings the last time it was changed. I cleaned the solenoid, but it wasn't much dirty. Should I just change it? I don't want this harsh shifting to damage more things. Thanks

[@vvince2855]

Did it fix your problem? Have same car.

[@ridiculousrobby]

It helped a lot. I also installed a tranny cooler on this car because the common issue they have is overheating. I also did a Transmission drain and refill with Honda oem fluid.

What size bolts

[@ridiculousrobby]

If you’re talking about the 6 bolts that hold the solenoid on, I believe they were 10mm. A 8,10, and 12mm will get most of this done.

[@bellfever]

Dude great video

[@Yakplanet_tv]

Did it work?

[@ridiculousrobby]

it helped with the slipping of 3rd gear as well as just smoothing out all the shifts. recommend doing the 3rd and 4th pressure switches. those make a bigger difference. change your fluid and maybe filter also.

Change it with Honda dw-1. Just pull the drain plug, clean the magnet on the plug, reinstall the plug and fill with 3 quarts of Honda oem dw-1. Flushing with a machine is bad for transmissions.

I don’t get what you mean by plug and play. You are reusing the same old parts but just cleaning out the screens.

I meant like if you buy the new solenoid you just take the old one off and bolt it down and plug it right back up
