I was driving on the freeway and my "D4" light was flashing. Didnt understand why. When i got off the freeway and after stopping i tried to accelerate again but the car was barley moving and the rpms were going past 4k. Yet I could put it in 2nd and D3 and shift it that way.

I did a search and came up with this plus an OBD2 scan..

P0753 Shift Solenoid A (electrical)

I know a scan doesn't mean its just that part and it might be more then just the solenoid, but has anyone has this problem before.

 

Yep, sounds like solenoid, get ready to pay for a new tranny

 

How many miles do you have on that tranny? and what year is it?

 

oh god dont make me cry!

250K its a '98

 

isn't it like your fourth tranny man?

oh, i went to tire pros! i'll most likely to go them!

 

yeah 4th rebuild. just components that were repaired.

 

talk to a tranny shop, see if they can start with just replacing the solenoid

 

time to do a full h22 swap man.

 

ya it could be a $300 fix.. gluck homie..

 

and stop tellin people to do swaps, untill u do it urself !!!

 

lol. But i don't have a broken tranny or engine. so why bother yet.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking.

arg! i just spent $350 to fix the rear engine seal, now this. FML


I should just go get a really cheap car that is like $200 a month.....

 

yeah no kidding why dont you lend me the money for it

 

how does 20.01 sound? lol

 

LOL now u know why i got rid of my CL.. everything was starting to go.. i spent close to $500 fixing it before i blew the h22 lolz..

u can always lease a Subaru for $159 a month.. wont be an Sti but itll be a new car..

 

If it's an external solenoid and like the 4 cylinder, they are easy as hell to replace to just try. Can get em on ebay cheap. I think it was literally 3 or 4 10mm bolts and a single plug. I was able to replace both on the accord in 15 minutes.

 

You better knock on your fake wood grain like 20 times.

Every time my tranny does anything weird I figure that's it, but

 

been there done that. I would have to worry more of my engine anyways. but i just fixed that like 10k miles ago.

 

thats exactly right, three ten millimeter bolts and a gasket and the solenoid assembly of course and you're golden. i'd imagine the computer put it in limp mode or something..

 

Haha! I gotta use that one man..

Same here.. It keeps switching gears uphill. Scares the living crap out of me..

 

Knock on wood....


its not happening again. it shifts fine, drives fine. wtf?!? could have it just been a short or surge. I am not complaining, just dont understand what happen.
