hi, I am going to clean the solenoid. I checked there are two pressure solenoid. should I clean both of them or just the top one?

Stephen00TL

I would just replace them, there like 40$ a peice. Also change the fluid while your doing this.

where can I get them for $40? I checked the top linear one listed $250 something. thanks.

Stephen00TL

Oh yeah that one is like 250$ if I remember correctly that's the torque converter lock up solenoid. I would just replace the third and fourth gear pressure switches and change the fluid

tightnight

ok, I will change both switches. thanks.

Stephen00TL

change the fluid unless you have done so recently

Hey Tightnight, what kind of shifting problems are you experiencing ?

As Stephen00TL suggested, a drain & fill using Honda fluid would be advisable....along with a new filter. When pulling the shift solenoid switches, inspect them for residue. Also check the drain plug for fines. You may want to consider having the fluid analyzed for contamination.

I cleaned my switches Sept 2011 @ 151,000. I'm at 174,000 with no issues as far.

My tranny is still good, nothing wrong yet. But I did not cleaning it very often. It is 107k now. So I am thinking do a full cleaning.

If you havent changed the fluid in a long time or never have, do one drain and fill and see how it goes

I just did two drains last nights. It looks everything running smooth. I will wait several days then do the last drain.

How was the fluid level and overall condition. Was the fluid dark and smell burnt ?
Did the drain plug have a build up on it ?

the fluid is dark but no burnt smell. The drain plug does have some black residue. but no big particles.
