What is a transmission pressure control solenoid?

There are multiple shift solenoids, and all are located in the valve body of the transmission. To access the valve body, you have to remove the side cover of the transmission. This is not easily done for an inexperienced person. You have to remove the subframe after suitably supporting the engine and transmission with a fixture. Then you can lower the trans down a bit to get the entire side cover off and access the valve body where the solenoids are located.

Just these past couple of days my gears feel like they're slipping. I could
be driving then it feels like it's just reving in place. I was able to get the
rpms up enough to where it would go back into gear and get it diagnosed
at a part store. They said I needed to get a Automatic Transmission
Solenoid replaced. We've got a transmission flush, and it was running great
for a few hours before the check engine light came back on. Got it
diagnosed still saying Automatic Transmission Solenoid, and
recommended that since we needed to drop the transmission oil pan to
replace the solenoid that we replace the filter. Well we replaced the filter
but cant find the where the Automatic Transmission Solenoid goes, we've
looked at diagram's and it doesn't look like it goes under the pan at all. Can
some one show me a proper diagram and tell me where it's located at?

Where is transmission control solenoid located?

In most cases, solenoids are located inside of the oil pan, connected to the valve body. Depending on what you drive, the technician may be able to replace just the failed shift solenoid.

Where is the pressure control solenoid B location?

Pressure control solenoids are located inside the transmission and are responsible for controlling pressure within the transmission's hydraulic circuits.

What is a transmission pressure control solenoid?

Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid: DESCRIPTION The transmission pressure control solenoid controls the fluid pressure to the internal friction plate clutches or drum bands. A bad or failing transmission pressure control solenoid can cause slipping, which can result in the transmission overheating.
