did you just replace the shift timing solenoid?i have a code po789 shift timing solenoid .
or was that the pressure solenoid you done ?
I ordered 1 yesterday and picked it up today. It was a crazy day today and I needed this job to go smooth and quick. Thanks a BUNCH for this video! It saved me a lot of time. I was able (thanks to your video) to change this part out in 1.5 hrs. I don’t have ABS so I didn’t need to mess with the master cylinder or take my tranny mount off. But it wouldn’t have gone that quick without this tutorial. Thanks again. It REALLY helped me out.
I got mine at the dealership.
Sorry about that other post, i hit the wrong button before i was done with the message. Anyway, i was saying I can’t find anywhere to buy the solenoid! Can you please tell me where you bought one? Thank you!
This is for an automatic transmission.
The transmission would shutter and slam into gear.
What were the symptoms you were experiencing with the bad solenoid?
is this for a stick shift saturn?? i have a 93.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and posting this video. It explains everything perfectly! TS
i have an 96 saturn and it shuts off when you press the throttle to speed up, is this the cause, please hlep
Could you please edit the info of the video and describe what your transmission was doing and how you diagnosed your problem to be that specific solenoid?
Ballpark figure from dealership……?
Where did you get the Solenoid?
I am experiencing intermediate hard shifting and 10 seconds of the shakes after the hard shift on an 02 saturn SL2, is this the fix? Thanks!

Thanks for this video. Just opened mine up and found a bad solenoid (9.5 ohm). Great tip about the cardboard template. couldn’t believe how many different size bolts.
Ive got a 2001 Saturn that periodically “bucks” from a stop, any ideas would be helpful . . . it only happens once in a while and typically when its driven at slower speeds 45 mph or lower
yes they are.. I found a used valve body and tested the solenoids and they where all good, I put in the new valve body everthing went fine NO MORE SLAM SHIFTING yay! …but now I get a hang in 1st gear it only does it when you 1st put it into drive takes up to 2500 rpms to grab thinking its pressure related as it only does it if it has been in park…….any ideas?
yes I agree!
I had hard shifting issues through all gears ….changed valve body shifts fine now BUT kinda hangs in 1st only when I forst put it into drive after that its fine…………..could this be pressure Pressure Control Solenoid? anybody have this issue?
I watched your video, got me a solenoid, and in 2 hours I was shifting gears like new.1999 Saturn SL2 WITHOUT ABS,so much easier.
BTW the solenoids are already in the valve body if im not mistaking…. there is no need to replace them if your getting a new valve body or unless you get a used one and solenoids dont work…. but I think this should fix your problem… let me know how it goes, I think I still have my used one sitting around, Ill look at it and let you know if the solenoids are in there.
hey.. I hope i’m not too late in answering your question, Yes I did replace the Valve Body, I found it pretty easy to replace BTW, and I did use high quality Trans Fluid I think I used valvoline, and also a bottle of Trans from LUCAS, This job was done about a year ago and I havent had any problems since, Just make sure you do tighten up your trans filter since its a screw on and mine almost fell a few weeks ago. The valve body was used and i found it for about 90 bucks. I hope you get it fixed!
Im having some slam issues with my 01 Saturn just was wondering if you got your issues resolved? if so was it the solenoids? or valve body?
thanks!
hi we have a 2002 saturn with around 124,000 on it and it jerks in reverse and shifts a little hard would it be that solenoid and how mach are they?
I have a 99 Saturn SL1 (automatic) and it seems to be start in 2nd gear. Is this a solinoid problem? And how did you determine to change soliniod #1 in your video?
I’m not sure about the ’95’s. If it resets after a power cycle that tells me it might not be a failed solenoid, but something else. You can probably take it to a shop and have the problem diagnosed for $100.
i have a 95 sl1 dose it have these solenoids? and would thay cause it to hang in fist gear at times…but i can turn the car off and back on and it will go normal do thank this is my problem please respond thank you
