Hello richw,You need to move the engine to release one of the bolts from the engine mount, it touches the lambda probe.

hello gentlemen. I have tested the solenoids but I think there is a problem.

Here are my results:

-1&2=619 Ohms
-3&4=609 ohms
-5&6=606 ohms
7&8=1300 ohms
18&9=18.8 ohms
18&10=18.9 ohms
18&11= 19 ohms
18&12=19ohms
18&13=18.9 ohms
18&14=18.8ohms
18&15=3.9 ohms
18&16=3.9 ohms
18&17=14.8 ohms

I specify that the gearbox works well but I feel harsh changes especially during kick down and slightly in normal driving.

I don’t think all of them are defective.
I tested them and the engine wasn’t completely cold. What do you think?

Thank you for your help.

I agree. I think that your solenoids are fine.

Was the correct fluid used, meeting specification N402?

I found complete solenoid kits from the United States on eBay. Are they identical on the 75?

Did you successfully use the level checking plug on the underside of the gearbox?

You can buy JATCO parts from UK suppliers such as JP Automatic Transmissions (highly recommended from personal experience).

I bought one from them off eBay a couple of years ago. They sent the wrong solenoid and ignored all messages I've sent them about it.

Perhaps a one off mistake but I'm certainly not recommending them.

Bought one from DMGRS. No problem, as usual.

Stay safe and good luck

John

I’ll check the level again and the solenoids. The problem is that I can’t figure out which one is defective: my measurements look weird, so they would all be defective, which seems unlikely.

Thanks you. The problem is DMGRS has only one solenoid to sell ( the 2/4 brake i believe).
