(Focus, 2014, 2L diesel, wet transmission)

So I diagnosed my problem to solenoid D stuck/ not working and car was going into limp mode. I bought the replacement part.

I’ve had the plastic transmission cover off here and then unbolted the bit of transmission to pull it off. (I apologies for lack of names, fresh DIYer and not a mechanic!) But the sensors on the back stop me from getting the clearance to pull it out to work on and swap the solenoid out. I attached a photo of the remaining cables. There’s one that’s a wiring loom that I can’t seem to remove but even then it’s going to be very close to get out.

I’m thinking there must be a better way to get access to it. Many of the videos i’ve seen on youtube the access comes from the bottom of the car, which would have been a dream, and much easier to access!

Any ideas would be very much appreciated, currently stuck!

I've been rebuilding my transmission for about a month now, and I'm getting really close to being done and finally had the thought that reddit might like this, I've got a 1986 Dodge Daytona 2.2L w a turbo, and I love her.

When I got this car the tranny was leaking and I tried replacing the driver side CV axle seal THREE times and it didn't work, eventually I simply forgot to top it off and ran it so low it was off the dipstick, and loads of problems started

I got a rebuild kit on RockAuto listed under my car, only to find out when it came it was really for a a670, luckily they are the same family transmission and I haven't had much trouble due to that yet, however I have had to order a new thrust washer set, a new Belleville spring,and I still need to get a new oil pump gear before I can finish

I don't want to promote myself but I do have much more consistent updates on my tiktok bite_me_pls if anyone wants to look at those but I would absolutely love any advice or questions on reddit as well

Here are some pictures

I wish I had more better pictures so I could show what's happening better but most stuff was recorded

Seriously tho if anyone has any advice on the a414 (31TH kinda) I really really wanna hear it bc i CANNOT be messing this up

Hello everyone I am working on my friends 2014 nissan pathfinder. The CVT light came on and it had a code for cvt judder. I am following nissans TSB NTB17-039i. I have removed the valve body too inspect the cvt chains and then replace it with the updated valve body. The chain is good and theres no large amounts of metal that would indicate something failing or over heating. The fluid looked okay as well. However what I found is there is a warped plate that seems to be part of the reverse clutch pack. I was able to move the clutch plates enough to look at the friction material on them and they all look good no major wear or hot spots. I have not been able to find any information on this exact warped plate and I can't tell if it is an issue or not in the parts diagram picture it is part number 60

Anybody ever seen a mark like this on a manual before? Just tearing down to inspect for my firet manual swap, cant seem to find anything online other than “t5 third gear bad”, and while that may be the case I am just looking for advice on whether this is world ending stuff.

Thanks!

I just ordered a summit racing heavy duty overhaul kit for my 2013 Silverado 1500. It has a 6l80 and I was wondering if this kit will require me to have the tcm tuned. My mechanic thinks it will be fine but this is his first rebuild on a newer 6 speed. I think the tcm will need a minimum of a reset but hey I’m not an expert.

All 3 of the bolts are one bad turn from being rounded smoother than Annie’s criminal, and the only tool I can fit in there is the 15mm wrench. My last ditch effort would be to buy one of those wrench that have a more hexagonal shape (and not rounded, like the cheaper ones), but maybe I’m missing something?

Changed my 2005 Hyundai Accent automatic transmission fluid for the second time at 70k(In last changed it 5yrs and roughly 45k miles ago), I didn't realize the used fluid was so much darker when I checked it on the dipstick.

Did I do good by getting this old, dark fluid out of there?

I’m not sure if this is urgent. Is this my transmission or my transmission seal leaking

My 4th gen has a suncoast guardian 68rfe kit transmission its not old maybe 90k miles and i changed the fluid not too long ago. Under normal driving it stays about 100° over ambient temp or lower but when climbing around in the mountain trails yesterday to go tent camping i was surprised to see it got all the way up to 222 it was 76 outside. Wasnt doing anything crazy just slowly driving up the trails in 4x4. I dont know if the thermostat has been deleted guessing it hasnt but any tips or tricks would be much appreciated

I'm looking to completely tear down my 02 GMC Yukon's transmission and motor. I'm looking to resleeve it too. I'm struggling to find a complete rebuild kit for everything. It is a 5.3 IRON BLOCK (not ls) with a 4l60. I just need the stock rebuild kit and a list of tools I'm going to need. If anyone can help me with this, I would be very grateful. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to trying to find the parts, but i can turn a wrench with no issues.
