Buck531 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Does anyone have any recommendations to replace the 1-2 shift solenoid on my Fiero with the 4T65? The cradle can be dropped easily and access the side cover but I honestly don't want to do it. I know it's a $30 solenoid. Any shops that won't bend me over? It can be driven but not that far since I only have 2nd and 3rd gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Are you completely sure that is the only thing causing your issue? Most shops won't touch something like that without them doing the diag. Call columbus trans or A-team and they should be able to quote you for just the solenoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 It's already been diagnosed, wires checked. Been there, done that. Just want the solenoid replaced. Even with manually selecting 1st gear with a snap-on scanner it won't see 1st gear. You can hear the solenoid click but it doesn't sound as loud as the 2-3 solenoid thinking the 1-2 might just be bad. (not engaging it enough) I know if I call a "shop" they would charge more than what the car is actually worth. I guess I'm trying to find someone to either come to my place (it's heated) to swap it or help or something. Kinda sucks knowing I did all the work to get this done, it's been done since September but I can't drive it for a $30 solenoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Shoot me some info on the car/application and I can give you an idea of what we would be looking at. Rich knows those cars and that trans well so I'm sure it's something we could help you with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
