      Need transmission control solenoid

      The dealer wants $130 and it will take 4 days to get here. Any one know of any online shops? And also where is Solenoid "A", I know A and B are side by side but do not know which one is which?

      Rebuilt both shift solenoid A and B popped them back in, changed my filter, filled her up and still no 3-4th gear, will look at the wiring, or buy a new solenoid

      Did you test the solenoid when it was out of the trans?

      I did check the ohms it was at 26 and also I checked it with a battery and it clicked. When I took it apart I did notice it did not have a spring inside, maybe that is why it is stuck ON. I read that my TCM may need to get reset for the transmission to sync back up.

      So finally a new solenoid came, will drain the ATF and see how the new one functions, but I'm afraid the TCM is messed up we shall see tomorrow.

      The check engine refuses to come on yet I still cannot shift past 2nd gear. Well at least I can bike more now.

      Wish I could help more, but I don't know a ton about auto transmissions. I guess I'd try to verify the solenoid is getting power? Make sure there isn't a short or something.

      I did check that it is getting power and it is, I am reluctant to take it to the dealer. I don't think it in limp mode but it does not want to shift past 2nd gear. Just revs like I'm in neutral.

      What's the history of this current problem? How long ago did it start, any prior different symptoms or problems? Any recent work done? What year is you aveo and how many miles does it have?
