I got a DTC P0750 indicatating my solenoid pack was bad and time to replace. I recently bought a mechanics set so now I feel I am a mechanic and decided to do this myself. I have zero experience with transmissions so this is one of many first for me. Also new to the forums so I hope this is in the right place. Here we go
here I loosened up the pan screw's, as gently as possible tapped a screwdriver until the pan broke loose. Oil will be going everywhere and a lot of it so be prepared because I wasn't. I highlight the connector that needs to be disconnected which is attached to the solenoid itself.
Once the pan is off I removed the filters. Unscrewed the one that looks a regular oil filter. The flat filter has a screw(which I highlighted) that comes off with a T20?? star bit I believe. This was a little tricky getting off for me because of the bad angle it was at and limited tools in my arsenal. Once it's off just wiggled it loose. It fought a bit but eventually came off.
After removing the filters I removed the screw's (highlighted in blue) holding the valve body on. These were the same size as the screw's holding the pan on. Also removed the seal highlighted in red. I used needle nose to pry this off.
Once I got the valve body off I removed the screw's (using same bit holding the flat filter) holding the solenoid pack on. I circled them for you. Once I got them all off the solenoid pack came loose, took it off and placed the new pack making sure it's lined up properly. Replaced the screw's back then tightened them at 50inlb torque.
Now just started doing things in reverse. Placed the valve body back on making sure it sits nice and flush. I torqued these screws at 105inlb. Replaced the filters remembering to replace the removed seal I mentioned earlier. Made sure the flat filter was inserted properly in the seal and replace the screw holding it.
At this time I cleaned the pan and the magnet. Also added a drain plug at this time just to make life easier down the road. Apply a bead of black rtv around the seal of the pan and slap it on. Tighten the screws down just enough to where they are tight but leaving enough room for another 1/4 - 1/2 turn.
After an hour come back and tighten the screws the rest the way. I didn't torque them I opted to just tighten them using my own judgment because I didn't want to break any. I waited another hour or so then added fluid. Took about 6-7 quarts to fill her up.
There it is all put back together. After waiting about three hours for the rtv to dry I took her out to see the results. I'm happy to say its been two days and she is running great again. Nothing is leaking and I got my baby back after being down for about a month. I also added a sonnax booster and it feels like it's shifting real nice. Im definitely no expert. these were just the processes I used to tackle this project. If I helped one person I guess this write up was worth it. Feel free to chime in on anything I may have did wrong or could of done better.
