4L60E Solenoid Set Install Tips - Valve Body Information : DIY Series 

Thank you for the straight forward guide. I’m gonna be changing my valve body with harness & sensors for my 94 Chevy impala. They certainly do not make them like they use to.

Excellent illustration, I need to replace my 1-2 and 3-4 shift solenoids. I will know what to do based on your video.

Thanks for the helpful video man!

excellent DIY video Thanks

THANK YOU ! A+ on lighting, sound, clarity and NO 'wordiness'

Thanks man. This helped

Great video !

Am I able to just swap a new valve body with new harness already on? I also want to know if I can do this without dropping my transmission and just do it from under the truck

youre awesome dude. good video.

Very cool!

Fantastic video. Thank you. I was wondering if there’s any special concerns with removing the valve train behind each solenoid (one at a time of course) clean up the valves and douching the valve body with parts cleaner followed by some Fresh fluid for pre-lube? Question #2 is it advisable to try and drain the torque converter (if possible) so that more fresh fluid is introduced at filling? Alternatively, I was throwing a small trans cooler in line and I’m wondering if there’s a way I can use a transfer pump and pump some fluid through the tranny and try and displace more of the old used fluid...That is still the majority of the volume during a filter service. I’ve also purchased a pan with the drain plug, this master solenoid kit replacement will be the second filter replacement and I guess I’m prepared to do a couple more filter replacements over the next 500 to 2000 miles to try to freshen up the tranny fluid throughout. Figure I got nothing to lose and everything to gain. If my training needs rebuilt I’ll have a new valve set in it and a new pan and a new trans cooler. I’m changing these valves because after my first fluid change I did have shutters shifts that were not there before, feeding the wives tale lore that you’ll make things worse. Still I’ve driven about 600 miles on it in the shutter shifting goes away when it warms up (when the training warms up doesn’t seem to matter if I let the truck preheat) Anyway I’m real hopeful and I hope this information gets answered for myself and other people and again thank you very much for such a great video production

maybe this will answer my 3erd gear problem XD

I was coming home from work yesterday & while going to down the road felt a hard jerk & transmission down shifted. I pulled over & put in park. Got out & looked under vehicle for fluid or anything outta the ordinary. All looked good. Started vehicle back up, put in reverse went into reverse fine, shifted to D nothing, then 3rd nothing, so I shifted to 1st moved just fine, 2nd just fine, but no 3rd or drive. Luckily I wasn't far from home so drove home in 2nd.

I take it the snap in connector was already removed but thanks for the video 👍

Excelent vídeo

these are the "GO TO GUYS" for trans parts .. Thumbs up !

Changed all this on mine. Your video was just in time. can you tell me how to get truck out of limp mode?

Hello sir, I am throwing a 2-3 shift solenoid code. I changed the solenoid and the code is still there. Do you think this master rebuild kit will help me? It's a 2004 GTO has a 4l60e with a Yank SS 3600 stall converter. When it's cold it drive fine and shifts great. Once it warms up it goes into limp mode and only has second and third gear. But when I turn the car off and let it sit about 10 minutes it is fine again. The fluid is nice and clean but it does have a strong smell.. kinda like celery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i have a 46re that i ordered a master kit for .mine has a three point plug the new plug is only a 2 prong plug did i order the wrong one or is there an adapter for it please let me know thank you.

I have a 97 trans am Fire bird LT1 5.7L V8 Not sure about the transmission model but, first thing I have noticed is it shows me going faster than it really is... and now I think the trans is causing it to blow #13 PCM IGN and then or at the same time it blows the #11 Ign fuse under the hood... any thoughts on this.... thanks in advance !! :)

I have a 2001 s10 blazer, quit going into 4th gear. So the guy I got it from changed fluid and filter now it wont engage at all not even reverse. Any advice on what to do?

"You do not need to remove the valve body" ..proceeds to remove the valve body

Hello Are the shift solenoid are the same it doesn't matter what goes were. Thanks good video

Why would 1st go out and a week later 2nd went out but I can roll through and it catches all other gears

Which one is solenoid A and which one is Solenoid B. Is there any difference in solenoid A and B? Do I purchase 2 of the same catalog number for A and B to be replaced? I have a 2015 5.3 Yukon with a transmission 4L60-E-RWD. Will you tell me what the catalog numbers are using AC Delco parts for these 2 solenoids. Thanks Chris

Would bad solenoids cause random check engine lights and hard shifting

I rebuilt my 4l60e and a p1810 code comes up. Ohmed out harness everything checks out fine.

Can you help me with a question about the valve body of Selenoids for automatic gearbox cvt lineateonic Subaru Forester XT 2015? Hello I read an article about the operation of a valve body and I am currently repairing the one of my truck described in the matter, since it lost rear traction and the truck looks symmetrical there wheel drive. When I measured the solenoid that activates the awd Transfer clutch, it had no current. I opened it and repaired connecting one end that was loose from the terminal and already has power; However, in the manual of the valve body of one of the images that I attached to this email, there are the measurements in omni of each solenoid and in the one that I repaired it says that the measurement in omnion of that is 3.2, but when repairing it and measure it with multimeter, it shows 3.8 and then drops to 3.6 omnios and stays there. Looking for the solenoid on Amazon or ebay, they show several of them and the one that best suits the one I need, says in the notice that the omnios are in a range between 3.2 and 3.7. Do you know what could happen if I install and assemble the solenoid in the valve body with that range of measurements? I appreciate in advance if you can advise me Greetings from Colombia

would this fix no gear in 1 and 2 or not 2001 chevy blazer 4.3 it drives but I gusse its not shifting ?

Good video, valve body did not need to be removed for solenoids and wiring though. Also, I believe they are 6mm bolts, not 8 and 10mm bolts

Ahah!! Why do all the other vids talk about the A and B solenoids but not the other 2? I just changed the A and B, and my fluid and filter, didn't really see any signs that my clutches were burning up, no real excess of material that would make me think clutch material, fluid didn't seem too bad though you could tell it was starting to age... and it'd still shift through gears just fine, but when I let off the gas to coast and tried to throttle again, I'd get nothing but rev until I hit about 3k rpms and it'd finally catch again. If I go ahead and floor it till I get to the next gear everything seems to return to normal, until I'm back within those speed/gear ranges. When I heard the name "3-2 downshift solenoid" certainly rang a bell. Someone tell me if I'm way off track.

How much is the kit for a 99 surburban and I don't have to take the transmission out right?

Can the job be completed with the transmission still in the vehicle?

Is it a must to take valve body out to change the solenoid master harness only. I broke the cable lock tab solenoid 1-2A while installing the pan. The one near the back behind exhaust crossmember. thankyou

What’s the location of the P1886 code? It’s saying something about the 3-2 solenoid.

I have a problem 02 blazer shifts up and down all the time when I drive at normal speed about 100 rpm difference would that be a solenoid problem

You do realize that you completely left out the part where you installed the 1-2 & 3-4 shift solenoids? Does each of the shift solenoid shafts have that rod that is spring loaded or just the one?

can you remove the valve body from one transmission and use it for another transmission as long as it's the same trans, year etc?

My truck shutters and jerks during acceleration while in Overdrive once the engine is hot. Especially going up hill. What do you think is the problem. 94 Chevy C1500 5.7L 4 Speed. Wayanchors.

Hi, my 4L60e slips while in position 'D' when it gets to 2nd gear at 2500rpm. As if I shoved it in neutral and at 4500rpm or if I let off the gas, it will shift to 3rd gear. But it doesn't slip when in position '2' or if I drive it like I was doing a 0-60 from a dead stop. I tried the longer Sonnax servo pin, and it does the same, exact thing and seems to have a friction sound (not sure if it is binding). Everyone tells be me my 2-4 band is shot but I'm not so sure. So while in '2' I get more fluid pressure than in 'D' and it doesn't slip - what sensor or component controls that pressure? And apart from the band what 'could' be causing this issue. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Would the codes include harsh delayed 1 to 2 shift and sometimes 2 to 3 too when hot , trouble code transmission slippage , I changed the tps , and same thing , from a 07 4L60E old body style 4.8L canada .

My 96 lt1 4l60e hit rev limiter twice before shifting to next gear at wot. Normal driving condition are great. I change tps, shift solenoids, speed sensor. Basically most sensors are new. I never changed epc. Would that cause my issue?

What if a 1-2 or 2-3 solenoid plunger is loose. I'm guessing it's the spring broke?

Is there a torque spec for the pressure sensor

why remove valve body to replace solenoids?

everything can be replaced without removing the valvebody!!! no need to chase check balls or risk tearing the gaskets which always happens!!!

I have a 1995 S10. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on fixing a problem I'm having. I keep blowing the ECM Batt fuse. It only happens when I step on the gas pedal hard. If I press the gas very slowly it doesn't blow the fuse and it only happens in forward no matter what gear but doesn't blow if I hit the gas hard in reverse. I have already eliminated the possibility of the problem being the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, oil pressure sensor and the ECU. The person I bought the truck from said the dealership said it was blowing the fuse because of a solonoid in the transmission and they wanted 1200$ to fix it so he sold me the truck but my check engine light is not on and I don't have an OBD code reader so I'm not sure if it's even tripping a code. The truck had an aftermarket security system when I got it and there was some metal conduit running near the starter that would arc on the starter and blow the Ecm B fuse due to a bad motor mount which I replaced. Also had the aftermarket security system removed. The truck ran good after removing the metal conduit I would drive it just fine, I could step into the gas hard with no problem. I was towing a truck one day on my property and all of the sudden the ECM B fuse blew again and it's been doing the same thing blowing every time I step hard on the gas pedal. The truck revs fine in neutral or park. I've looked for burned or pinched wires that could be grounding out somewhere but I have found nothing. Could my problem be a transmission solonoid or have you ever dealt with something like this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm turkey Istanbul from you I have a tool that will be a question for a 1998 model Proton brand mutsubi compatible 1600 ° engine automatic transmission problems i have transmission I have collected only tool motion does not I would be glad if you help whichever relay caused solenoid problems

Hi, how to make trans more performance there's any kit or valves that can make car more powerful

I am having a hard time with my epc solenoid. its like stuck in there? once the bracket is off it comes part way then seems like something stopping it from coming all the way out. should i just tug on it a little harder or am i missing something?

I broke the shift solenoid plastic connector? I put the pan back on so far ok

My clips broke for my solenoid. How do i get them out

Do i need to drop the tran to replace all of this

is this transmission similar to 4l80e? I need to do one of those

Hi I have an 04 mini 1.6 l base and I’m looking for replacement parts for the valve body. Solenoids stepper motor. Can’t find Does anyone know where to get the parts or the valve body complete. Need help thanks

Do you have a kit for my Chevy silverado 1994? Cant find it.

do you have a video like this on the 4l30e?

what is the difference between the 95 and the 96 -up transmission/corvette

👍👍👍👍👍🍺😎

Somebody removed my tcc solenoid but weird thing is the plug isn't there ither so that valve body must be from pre 1995 has p 1860 code y would somebody do this?

Will this fit in my 06 trailblazer ls 4.2v6?

What is the difference between the 95 Silverado 4l60e and the 96?

anyone know why my epc solenoid is stuck in there? once the bracket is off it comes half way out then seems like theres something stopping it from coming all the way out.

2004 Yukon Denali. Code p1810 It shifts fine when you first start it sometimes. But then it will downshift from 3rd to second and stay in second gear Once it shifts down to second it stays in second even after a complete stop. I can manually shift from 1-2, but not from 2-3. Could this be one of the A-B solenoids? Or the pressure manifold?

i have a 99 Silverado, the transmission is slipping but when i turn the tow/haul button it shifts fine, any advice?

You removed the VB , WHY ?

How different is the 4l80e to this 4l60e

You could have told us what each silanode is instead of the code which no one knows? And what each silanode control what in the transmission?

Can I take a transmission out of a 93 1500 and put it in my 1991 Chevrolet 1500???? can someone help me please

My S10 1998 4.3 v6 it will go in drive not revere

Don't use codes alone to diagnosis transmission issues. They may be getting triggered by another problem.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IF IT'S 4X4

Seams like nobody's questions are answered. shame.

Losing power

How difficult would it to design a fully mechanical hydralic pressure operated valve body with speed controlled electric overdrive. Aside from the lock up tourque convertor to the 400 is the same damn thing. Surely one of you lazy rocket scientist can figure out a way to lock up the torque converter in the old school tranny.

Am I able to just swap a new valve body with new harness already on? I also want to know if I can do this without dropping my transmission and just do it from under the truck?
