Get the Dorman Solenoid Here – https://amzn.to/4fiMxgU about $60

@timrolfes9761 says:

There look to be four solenoids on the valve body. Are they all the same, even though they have different color wires? Would it not be still economical to replace all solenoids once the valve body is out and still save the stealership costs?

@jptrainor says:

I will never need a solenoid transmission valve replacement. Maybe a left knee replacement, but never a solenoid.

@forcewulf says:

Good advice!! They only have lockup solenoid? Or transfer clutch solenoid too? Because that solenoid have same trouble. But I can’t find in their web. Thanks for bringing some realy good solutions to this brand.

@parabolamadness says:

Yea 60 bucks for the solenoid but what's the cheapest scan tool cost that can do the trans relearn?

@bonozil says:

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

@matthewguilford9340 says:

Q: Can't you rebuild that piece and sell them as a rebuild unit?

@zerobucks9 says:

what are the symptoms of failed solenoid?

@YouTubesucks.. says:

Only the lockup and AWD solenoid ever fail. The middle two never do and those can be used in place of the lockup solenoid but not the awd… the resistance is different but the same on the other 3!!! You’re welcome!

@robbiejohnson344 says:

That solenoid can also be used for the primary up and primary down solenoids. The awd solenoid fails as well but has a different resistance. The tcc solenoids fail in my opinion because of the duty cycle of the solenoid. It stays fully applied almost all the time. I've never seen a primary up or primary down solenoid fail and it's the same solenoid. The duty cycle on those are constantly varying.

@carterevans3949 says:

I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan with the TR580 transmission. When looking at scanners to purchase to perform a relearn. I noticed that in a lot of the vehicle coverage sites for multiple brands often group XV/Impreza and Crosstrek/Impreza together. It doesn’t have an option of just Impreza. How do you know which option it correlates to and why do they have two different listings?

@theredscourge says:

CVTs are perfectly fine, folks. Just change your CVT fluid every 12 miles and it will last 100k!

@RenaldoRoberts-l8v says:

Hi can i use these for 2019 Nissan pathfinder cvt transmission

@mmautoservice5429 says:

I personally would only install this as a last resort as Dorman products have a high failure rate and you will be doing the repair again.

@marciosavoia6784 says:

After the replacement valve body the odometer and UCE have different Km.
In the odometer 168 K and UCE have 130 K.
Somebody know how to solve rhis?

I am truly enjoying my Subaru Sambar 1998 truck, I love it.
