my second gear sticks only at wot, other than that, the car goes threw the gears fine

 

also do i have to drop the trans or just the pan??

 

I think the last one I bought was $21 at the dealership. No need to drop the trans, just the pan is needed. Then unplug the solenoid, get a flathead screwdriver & remove the clip holding it in place, slide it out & put the new one in. It very simple. The only problem is that there are only two shift solenoids, each one is for two gears. I think the drivers side was 1st & 4th & the one on the Pass side was 2nd & 3rd. If im wrong then someone please correct me.

 

maybe ill just replace both.
thanks!!

 

Replace both while your in there

 

above will be my plan

 

Had problems with mine before the OD would go out and kick it into "limp mode" ended up replacing both and then also changed the filter.

 

if it shifts fine normally, then it won't be the solenoids. while you have the pan down, take the 2nd gear accumulator piston out and see if it is cracked. the 2nd gear housing is the round tower looking thing with 3 bolts holding located on the rear passenger side of the trans. the piston is made out of plastic and is prone to splitting at the center where it rides on the pin. i had to replace it on mine. i also ended up replacing the forward accumulator which is on the driver's rear of the valve body.

 

it drives fine when i drive it normally.
when i floor it, it wont go into 3rd
