What happens when downshift solenoid does not work?
If the downshift solenoid fails or has an issue, the vehicle may experience late shifting when slowing down. The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.
Can a 3.7 transmission downshift to full throttle?
You say the fluid levels are fine BUT-my 3.7 will do the same thing-with downright violent, part throttle upshifts if the level gets below half way in the safe area on the dipstick. Are you in the safe area or actually full?
Why does my Jeep downshift when coming to a stop?
The vehicle is an 05 3.7 with 32,500 miles I have owned it for about a month and have had this issue since day one. The problem occurs when either coasting to a stop or braking coming to a stop. The transmission will downshift hard from 3-2 and sometimes 2-1 causing a small jerking of the jeep and occasionally a light clunk.
What happens when I downshift from 3-2 to 2-1?
The transmission will downshift hard from 3-2 and sometimes 2-1 causing a small jerking of the jeep and occasionally a light clunk. The most noticeable is the 3-2 shift which happens around 20mph with the engine around 1000 rpm (under braking, not acceleration.)

Is there a problem with A727 Trans shifting?
No matter how “good” a tranny guy is, if he has no experience with A727’s then he probably doesn’t even know what he did wrong. My first thought was the throttle kick down linkage, but you already took care of that. My second was a band out of adjustment, but I don’t think that would cause what you are describing. I think it’s a valve body problem.

Very few Mercedes-Benz cars have had complete transmission failure and require transmission replacement. We see these transmission fail in rare cases when water enters the transmission via the oil cooling lines or the radiator on cars equipped with Valeo radiators.
Why does the transmission not shift when the car is not running?
The transmission won’t shift and the car makes a grinding sound when the engine is running. Besides, pulling out of first gear will feel harder than normal. The transmission will shift in and out of gear without any issue when the car is not running. It won’t come out of the reverse gear when the car is running.
Why is the gearshift not showing on the dashboard?
I released the gearshift and when cycling through the gears found the display showing only W & R (not showing D or N or P) It could be a problem with the AGS (gear selector) – if it is not communicating, the gear won;t display on the instrument cluster.
Can a 6 speed transmission not shift properly?
In less than 2 years it developed a serious problem with it 6 speed auto- transmission, where it slips in 1st and 2nd gear, like when you try drive from a stop; step on accelerator nothing happens. Then all of a sudden the car jumps violently. This was very dangerous especially in tight parking areas or in heavy slow traffic.

How to reset transmission adaptive shifting in Mercedes Benz?
If you race your Mercedes-Benz, it will remember that and keep the gearbox in gear longer. If you drive it gently, it will adapt to that as well and change gears earlier. Turn the key to position 2. You should see all the dash lights come on. Do NOT start the car.
Why is my gear shift on my Harley Davidson hard?
If you are experiencing Harley neutral issues, “hard neutral”, or having a tough time shifting your Harley, you may need to address your Harley-Davidson gear shift linkage as an assembly. Sometimes, a misaligned shift linkage will be obvious to diagnose.
What to do if your shift linkage is loose?
It is important to inspect your shift linkage assembly regularly. Try looking it over every time you check your lights and tire pressure. If pinch bolts become loose, remove them, clean them, and reinstall to factory torque specs with Loctite. If shift arm splines or shaft splines are worn; the components should be replaced.
Why does the rear wheel slow down when downshifting?
In the simplest terms, if you let the revs drop right down to the point where there is a vast difference between engine rpm and the lower gear you are selecting, when you come to release the clutch lever and engage the new gear, the rear wheel is forced to slow down until it is fully engaged and the engine speed has matched the new gear.
How does a slipper clutch affect a downshift?
Even with the slipper clutches of today, slipping downshifts are made much easier and less dramatic. In simple terms, a slipper clutch greatly reduces the amount of engine braking that makes it to the new gear, and in turn the rear wheel.
What’s the quickest way to downshift a motorcycle?
Dumping the clutch back out – Releasing the clutch lever with this technique is quick, but not instant. You need to get back to that bite point as quick as you can, but re-engaging the engine and gearbox should be smooth and controlled.
Can a bad transmission shift solenoid cause hard shifting?
You may also have intermittent problems with the transmission shift solenoid, which will cause shifting problems. This can cause hard shifting or shiftings at too low or too high RPM, for example.
Is there a kick down switch on a Mercedes?
This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. If your older Mercedes transmission is not shifting down or going into passing gear when you floor the throttle pedal you will need to diagnose the problem. One of the first things you should do is test the operation of the electrical kick down switch on the transmission.
What does it mean when your transmission solenoid is broken?
This is a big sign that you have transmission shift solenoid problems because you have one or more shift solenoid for each gear, and if one is broken, it will not shift to that gear – instead, jump to the next gear directly. If the shift solenoid got damaged while the gear was engaged, it might cause the transmission to be stuck in that gear.
What happens when you have a bad Shift Solenoid?
If the transmission control unit recognizes any shift solenoid problems, it may cause the transmission to shift very slowly. This applies to both upshifting and downshifting. You may also notice that your car may have a problem engaging some gears, and therefore it will skip to the next gear.
What to do if your transmission solenoid is stuck?
If the trouble code tells us that it’s stuck or an electrical problem, it is most likely a wiring or shift solenoid problem. Many shift solenoid-related codes can be solved by doing a transmission fluid replacement or carrying out a transmission flush. A transmission fluid change is often not that expensive and worth doing.
How does a solenoid work in a transmission?
Inside the solenoid, there’s a plunger surrounded by a magnetic coil. When the TCM triggers this coil, the plunger moves, allowing pressurized hydraulic fluid to flow to certain parts of the transmission. This allows the transmission to shift into the desired gear. There are two or more shift solenoids inside your transmission.
How much does it cost to replace a shift solenoid?
In the picture above, you see the shift solenoids located on the valve body. The shift solenoids are the tubes with yellow, green, and black colors. A single shift solenoid’s replacement cost is between 100$ to 350$ and a shift solenoid pack costs between 400$ to 700$, including transmission fluid, filter, parts, and labor work.
You may also have intermittent problems with the transmission shift solenoid, which will cause shifting problems. This can cause hard shifting or shiftings at too low or too high RPM, for example.
What are the symptoms of a bad or failing solenoid?
When the solenoid fails or has any issues, it can cause problems with the vehicle’s shifting.
