Where are the transmission solenoids located?
The Transmission shift solenoids are located inside the valve body of your automatic transmission. They are integrated into the valve body, and on some car models, you can see them without removing the valve body, while on others, you have to remove the valve body to reach them.
How many shift solenoids are in a transmission?
Solenoid Function Transmissions typically have one less solenoid than they have gears. For instance, a four-speed transmission will generally have three solenoids; one for the first-to-second gear shift, another for the second-to-third gear shift and a third for the third-to-fourth gear shift.
How does a pressure control solenoid work?
► What Exactly Does a Pressure control Solenoid do? The transmission pressure control solenoid controls the fluid pressure to the internal friction plate clutches or drum bands. If left unrepaired, the slipping will ruin (burn or fry) the friction clutches and bands causing transmission failure.

Is it safe to remove shift solenoids?
TIP 3: Removing the shift solenoids should be done with a completely cooled vehicle. Transmission fluid gets hot and remains hot long after the vehicle has been turned off. Be careful, take all necessary safety precautions. Think safety all of the time.
