P075B

Shift Solenoid G Performance/Stuck Off

Shift solenoid G is electrically intact, but its hydraulic effect is missing — when commanded on, the gear it should engage does not lock up. Either the solenoid is mechanically stuck closed, the valve body bore is worn, or hydraulic pressure does not reach the clutch pack.
