I took out the transmission solenoid for a 2004 Acura TL to service and to clean out the screens that filters out dirt. I also replace the solenoid gasket and the 3 o rings with Honda brand only and highly recommended. Didn’t have brake cleaner but you can use a throttle body cleaner as a replacement. Before placing the transmission solenoid back make sure to clean the area first including the leftover transmission fluid. I should have mentioned that in the video.

FYI
If you have rough or delayed shifts this will partially help for smoother shifts. Why partially? You will have to do a 3×3 transmission drain & fill and also changed out the 3rd and 4th pressure switches. For a 2004 to 2006 Acura TL you would also have to change out the transmission filter.
Conclusion
If this doesn’t help then you will need to rebuild or replace your transmission.

Mine isn’t on that location but can it be possible on the side ?
I stay on d the whole time I drive and the check engine light came on and it said replace transmission solenoid
Why not show part number !
how often should i do this?
If you get them mixed up just remember they should all be sticking up about a 1/4 inch. The tube nearest the firewall is longer meaning its pocket is deeper than the others.
So I have a 05 tl and when I shift it into drive, park, reverse etc and gear 2-4 are pretty rough and when I shift to drive it’s very delayed like pretty bad would this fix that issue?
I got an 05 tl that doesnt shift properly going up hill it will stutter and basically go in to neutral and refuse to move until i turn the car off and re start it then it will move untill it does it again. I changed the tcc solenoid and changed fluid didnt help much. I was think possibly a bad tcm. Atf was pretty dirty and old but not burnt smelling with some shavings on the plug no big chunks. Its my first auto i have the "opportunity"of fixing lol i only drive mt but doing this as a favor
Is this solenoid c?
Do you know if it’ll be the same for a 2012 tl ?
I have a 2003 Tl, and my transmission is slipping out an of gear a lot when I start it up, it takes a few tries to get into gear is this something I can fix by replacing solenoids and speed sensors?
Got error P-0751 need help to find this Solenoid A. thx
EXELENT VIDEO just to know this one it the solenoid A swift
Great video. I have a 2004 Acura TL. Have a check engine light P0722. Changed the output speed sensor, fluid, 3/4 pressure switches. But nothing has fixed the problem. The car won’t shift into 3rd. Would these solve my problem. Thanks for your time.
Beep beep I like a da corn beep beep
Could this be why my car revs at 5K instead of 6500? I recently stepped on it and it like redlined at 5k then it snapped out of it and hit 6500 then changed gears ..
Hello so I have a 2002 acura tl and its leaking transmission fluid. The check engine lights shows solenoids 2 3 so would those be the culprit for the leak? When the fluid gets low it begins slipping, and sometimes won’t go into gear if really low. D5 will begin blinking as well. Once I put fluid in it it comes back to life. If you have the time could you please offer any advice? Other than a new transmission any fixes to get some more out of the car? Like would cleaning or replacing solenoids be the way to go? Thanks for your time
Hello, I just recently bought a automatic 2008 TL type s, didn’t notice till later but it shifted hard and it gets better when it’s heated up but you can still feel the jerk when shifting gears, no check engine light on but my on screen computer messsages gave me a P0767 code and I’m hoping it just needs new transmission fluid and a clean, don’t really wanna spend money on a rebuilt transmission. Hopefully it’s still early enough to fix but what are you thoughts on doing first?
HI I HAVE D BLINKING INDICATOR ON MY DASH. WILL THIS HELP ME?
I guess you are already aware that you only put 5 bolts in and the left middle hole was empty after you tighten down that shift solenoid. It was a very good video and keep up the good work.
Did you car have vsa like on and said stuck on pressure A ?
Nice video.
I have a 2007 Accord with same v6 engine. I recently started having slightly delayed and harsh 1-2 shifting especially when engine is cold. It gets better when warmed up, but not best. I also noticed delayed 2-1 shifting. When slowing down, it tends to remain in 2 till I give it gas to move off, then it comes to 1. But absolutely no slipping.
Oil is good level and not burnt, no much shavings the last time it was changed.
I followed your step to clean the solenoid, but it wasn't much dirty. Should I just change it? I don't want this harsh shifting to damage more things.
Thanks
I have a 2006 tl when I took out the solenoid my screens were on the top of the tube in the o rings, they weren't even connected to the tube. I just recently had the transmission rebuilt some months back but am having problems that seem to be related to what I hear others are having with this solenoid. Could those screens been inserted wrong at some point? Or is 2006 slightly different?
What code popped up on you o2?
my 2006 TL consistently has been going into neutral when downshifting into first, only on cold starts during the first 5-10min of driving. Also when I floor it from a low speed (20-40mph) it goes into neutral. Would this be a solenoid issue? Transmission was redone ~50k miles ago and I’m currently at 194,xxx miles. Please LMK your thoughts. Thanks
Hi, Thanks a lot for your video. My transmission mostly shifts fine however in the morning it does shift but not really smooth. I did change fluid with oem 3qt and atp filter. Still kind of same. If I drive 10 min on highway and get into city it shifts really smooth. Maybe I should do 2 more fluid changes? Do you guys have any idea? Thanks a lot
I have a 2003 tl type s and my car wouldn’t shift past 2nd gear sometimes wouldn’t go in reverse or it’ll take long to go in reverse sometimes when I drive I’ll press the gas pedal and the rpm’s would move and my speed would stay the same and this usually happens when I’m cruising and at the end of my 2nd gear. Can this be a solenoid problem or a transmission problem
I had multiple problems with my transmission first it wouldn’t shift past second gear and I replaced the whole transmission it cost me a lot of money, surprisingly the problem still existed where i would drive and after a while it seemed like the transmission slipped, I would press the gas and the rpm would go up but the car wouldn’t drive faster, and now the car won’t drive at all or reverse
