Thanks for sharing this excellent instructional video on fixing a common fault in these transmissions. I have a Captiva that's just recently started flaring when shifting from 3rd to 4th and think, after watching this video, that replacing the solenoids should fix the problem. I bought the vehicle knowing it had a faulty transmission. It found it had a broken wavy ring and damaged the 4-5-6 gear drum. The filter was full of aluminium particles. I electrically tested and cleaned the solenoids at the time, but suspect they might have been damaged by all the aluminium particles being pumped through them. A pressure test probably would have shown they were not in top condition.
Hello!, I loved your video!, I have a buick verano 2015 that is not changing to 6th gear and is showing the same error, my question is if I change the solenoids do I need to reprogram the transmission somehow?, or I can change them without an issue and connect everything again hoping it to work?
Great video thank you🙏 question, I have a 2015 chevrolet impala 2lz. It wont shift to 4.5 or 6 gears. All the other gears are ok. Do you think that if i do a flush and add new fluid could aolve the problem? Any ideas? Thank you so much
hi, flush wont do diddly! you need to check solenoids and seals in the tcm assembly, the solenoids get contaminated or the plastic manifold breaks from pulsating pressure over long time, or the seals flatten out and you get pressure leaks. make sure you see our other vids on 6t40 or mechatronic vids to see what i mean. cheers
Hello, Mr.! I believe that sonnax solenoid chart, at 1-2-3-4 solenoid, are with on/off inverted. I mean, in according with the original service manual. Btw, great video! Cheers from Brasil.
hi, we`ve never had consistent luck in doing the in car solenoid cleaning with scantool. as explained in video, the debris and flattened seals are often the main issue. cheers
Hey mate, can you let me know the gasket/o ring part numbers or where to get them? I couldn't see any links in your description to follow for these parts. Cheers
Hello!, I loved your video, I changed the solenoids yesterday, but now the transmission doesn't want to drive nor do reverse, do you know which might be the problem?
hay mate firstly great vids thanks a bunch ! i have a ford focus 2012 lw td and i wont to but a scan tool fix the gear box as you did in your focus vid and clear codes ect . thanks in advance
hi, clearing codes does not fix the problem. the same codes will return once the fault parameters are met. you need to fix the cause, then clear codes. cheers
I have no forward movement on my gearbox only reverse. If I manually shift into 2nd and 3rd i can feel a slightly bump in the seat and very little engine rev but I can't move forward. Reverse works perfectly. Can this job fix the issue ? or should i get an gearbox to replace mine ?
@@YepThatsIt I have bought an 6T30 trans from spares and I'm wondering that if it can replace mine which is 6T40. The trans overall looks the same and the connector on the TEHCM is the same. Thanks
I have the same issue with code p07bf when it's warm no drive at all only reverse, I replaced output and input speed sensor didn't fix it, any idea with this code p07bf. Thanks
I have a territory 6r80 with hard shifts from first to second sometimes and I would like to take it to your shop but couldn't find any info on youtube. You should add your contact info on UA-cam, so people can reach you out directly. Cheers
Excellent video covers all the bases !
thanks & cheers
Looks like a successful fix good work guys.👏
thanks and cheers

I'm got P0796: PCS 3 (L/R 4-5-6) stuck Off, but slipping in only 5-6 gear only. Is there a possibility of a fault in the solenoid or 5/6 clutch?

how long did it actually take to make this repair?
Hello!, I loved your video, I changed the solenoids yesterday, but now the transmission doesn't want to drive nor do reverse, do you know which might be the problem?
hi, did you change with new solenoids or ebay ones ? cheers
Hello!, I bought them in amazon, but they came in a ziplock bag instead of a new package
@@CesarReyes-sr8mw hey did you ever figure out the issue?

what speed does the convertor clutch come on?
hi, if you mean fully on it will be under higher speed. at lower speeds will depend on load or deceleration, but not in 1st or rev i believe. cheers
