You have a few sensors screwed into transmission,depends what type you have automatic or a stick,the best way to see is follow leak,may have to raise.But the very best way is to raise on a car lift like shops have to walk under and find and replace,plus you can see other parts that might need attention.If your Stratus needs a oil change,take to dealer and say nothing about leak,when they raise it up to change oil,they will notice your leak and follow and diagnose and figure everything out and tell you what's wrong and how much,you have the choice to let them or take home and do it yourself.

SOURCE: A604 solenoid pack interchangability

If I remember right the 2000 solenoid pack is slightly different than the '96. I've only seen that happen myself once. I just called my local bone yard and got a solenoid pack from the same year of trans. and did it that way.

2005 ford focus code P0767 shift solenoid D circuit stuck on

Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level - Dirty transmission fluid - Faulty shift solenoid 'D' valve - Shift solenoid 'D' valve harness or connectors - Shift solenoid 'D' valve circuit is open or shorted
When the a transmission solenoid is stuck on, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is very dirty, it is recommend changing the transmission fluid and if possible removing the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a transmission mechanical failure and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced

What's the problem if the car is not shifting? It's just shifting to park, neutral, and drive but not shifting to second gear or higher.. also the speedometer is not working..

possible cause is the torque converter clutch servo/solenoid
changing on the indicator but no drive through the gear box
run the fault codes and check for problem clutch servo/ solenoid or transmission control module
check all wiring and connections to transmission

Clio auto gear selector the A keeps turning off

possible causes
- low transmission fluid level
- dirty transmission fluid

P0743 - Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Electrical
Possible causes- Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness or connectors
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted

Wont shift to 3rd code say the transmission torque convrter solenoid needs to be replaced 2005 chevy suburban

The code probably says the solenoid is not working correctly or the signal from the solenoid is out of range.
The solenoid would need to be tested and maybe replaced.

Transmission leaks fluid. we replaced the gasket but there is still a leak somewhere and it struggles to go in reverse and in 1st. gear

The factory uses silicone sealer on the transmission pans and this is rarely where the leak is, unless someone has tried to replace that gasket before.Most of the time the leak is where the rubber cooler hoses connect to the transmission and the fluid runs down the case behind the solenoid pack and across the front of bell housing and looks like the pan is leaking.Reverse and low gear are controlled by the same solenoid and share a set of clutches.Low fluid is the most likely cause of poor engagement but you could have a bad solenoid pack that could be also causing the leak and or internal damage to the transmission.I would double check the fluid and have diagnostic codes pulled and the CVI (clutch volume index)and get back to me with that info and i will try to give you an isea of what is wrong.

I have no gears forward or reverse. My Vehicle is a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi with 170,000 on the clock. Fluid is clean and full with no leaks. I have the following trouble codes:...

Your scanner will give you the code but it will not tell you how to fix your vehicle. Scanners basically tell you what systems to check or what systems are failing.

These are what your codes mean:

P0700: Transmission Control Module
- Shorted or open circuit within transmission control module (TCM)
- Failure of transaxle control module. This is just a informative code.

P0734: Gear ratio error in 4th gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0732: Gear ratio error in 2nd gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0731: Gear ratio error in 1st gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0871: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor Switch C

P0876: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor Switch D

Emissions Codes:

P0400: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction
- Harness or connectors (EGR volume control valve circuit is open or shorted.)
- EGR volume control valve stuck closed
- EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Dead (Weak) battery
- EGR temperature sensor and circuit
- EGR Valve

How to fix :
- Clean EGR Valve
- Repair EGR harness or connector
- Replaced EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Replaced EGR volume control valve

P0440: EVAP Emission Control System Malfunction
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

P0456: EVAP Control System Leak Detected (Very Small Leak)
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

P0441: EVAP Emission Control System Incorrect Purge
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

Based on the info check your EVAP system. I would check for leaks and maybe replace the EGR and the canister.

For the transmission check the TCM also you may need to take it to a mechanic though.

Hope this helps a little.

Code P2716. car seems to shift fine. it is a 2006

This code is for the pressure control solenoid located in the valve body of the transmission. I recommend getting this solenoid replaced and the wiring harness leading from the outside of the transmission to the valve body inspected for signs of transmission fluid leaking into connection of harness as this will cause issues too. Ignoring this code can lead to poor trans shifting and possible engine stalls.
