5R55E Wont hardly pull unless in low lock..

jarfly · 08-08-2012, 12:01 PM

I believe its about toast. Was having trouble for a while with the O.D Light flashing and LIMP mode.
Took it in for a checkup and they told me 2 of the solenoids under the pan was bad.
Drove it about 20 mile last trip and noticed no power pulling out, and had to pull it in LOW manually, (it wasnt going in LOW or 1st)
My driveway isnt too steep but a small grade and it wont pull it unless i go to LOW LOCK in 4x4 mode.
Any tips please ??

Did you have them fix the two bad solenoids when you had it checked out?

How many miles are on it? I have the same trany. If it has more then 80k on it your probably better of having it rebiult.

IIRC limp mode puts the transmission in 3rd gear and doesn't allow it to shift.
