TOP 10 SYMPTOMS OF A BAD TRANSMISSION SHIFT SOLENOID

[@akinjideakinlabi5993]

When I engage in reverse, it jerks and moves smoothly but sometimes does not move at all. When drive is engaged, it sometimes skips 1 and moves to 2. It jerks when changing from 2 to 3 and the engine RPM will raise as if it enters natural before 3 is engaged. It does not engage 4 & 5 at all even when speed and acceleration is increased. When the car is stopped or speed reduced, it remains in gear 3 most of the time except if the can is brought to a total halt. Whey could be the problem; solenoids, verve body or what?

The symptoms you've described suggest potential issues with the transmission system of your vehicle. These symptoms can be caused by various factors, including problems with the transmission solenoids, valve body, transmission fluid level/condition, or even internal transmission components. Here's a breakdown of potential issues based on the symptoms you've described: Jerking and erratic shifting: Jerking during gear changes, skipping gears, or difficulty engaging certain gears can be indicative of problems with transmission solenoids or the valve body. Failure to engage higher gears: If the transmission is not shifting into higher gears (4th and 5th gears), it could be due to various reasons such as low transmission fluid level, restricted fluid flow, or internal mechanical issues within the transmission. Staying in gear 3: If the transmission remains stuck in a particular gear (in your case, gear 3) even when speed and acceleration increase, it could indicate a problem with the shift solenoids, valve body, or internal transmission components responsible for gear selection. Given the complexity of automatic transmissions and the variety of potential issues, it's best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist.
