Trany light

[WiSDoM]

While driving home lastnight my trany light came on and and stayed on. I was about five minutes from home. Had been driving for over an hour. It stopped upshifting from 2nd to third and fourth. I will check the fliud when the weather warms up on monday. I checked the manual to try an trouble shoot it. Said maybe solenoid A. Has this happened to anyone before?

i would limp it to a shop to get the code read... could also try resetting the computer (disconnect battery for 30 minutes) and see if maybe it was just a one time thing and your computer put the transmission into limp mode to save the tranny from further damage

I will try that tomorrow. I will drive it over to Advanced Auto tomorrow night.


I checked some of the trouble shooting tips from the guide and this is a problem my trany has Test:
Check 3rd gear in “D” in winter mode.
.
Does vehicle move?

if yes :Shift solenoid A
stuck. Replace
shift solenoid A.

if no: goto step 4

Check for suspected conditions modifying delays to clutch apply:
— 2nd clutch seal damaged.
— Excessive 2nd clutch piston travel.
— Defective accumulator piston.
— Causes of internal leaks.
— Check ball missing or out of location in 2nd clutch.
— Seals cut, damaged or missing.
— Gaskets defective.
— Causes of burned clutch plates.

solution repair or replace

Thanks for the suggestion

do you think it is cheaper to buy a reman or have this one repaired. I also have 96 isuzu rodeo for a possible donor but it has the same mileage as the VXaround 130,000 +/- i believe it is the same 4L30-E trany.
