What kind of transmission does a Buick Rendezvous have?
I have a 2005 Buick Rendezvous 6 cyl. auto. 119k that’s transmission makes a clunking noise shifting into 1rst gear (only) sporadically in stop and go traffic. If I hit the gas, this doesn’t not happen. Almost feels like I am driving on ice. I had the transmission fluid flushed recently, and that was normal.
Is the EPC solenoid bad in a Buick Rendezvous?
The EPC solenoid is probably bad and again is very common to happen. The EPC solenoid controls line pressure and has a spool valve which oscillates back and forth to regulate transmission line pressure based on commanded pcm signals dependant on lots of various inputs of the vehicle.
What to do if your Buick Rendezvous has AWD problem?
Generally shutting off the car will make this condition go away until you drive a few more miles or the vehicle warms up and the harsh shifting will return. Replacing the EPC solenoid will most likely correct this condition and again is probably the most common problem found in any year of this trans.
Why does my Buick Rendezvous slip out of gear?
At first I though it may have been my spark plugs until I looked at my gauges and realized that my tact was at 4000 rpm, and the car sounded like it was in neutral. The car began to slip in and out of gear. When I down shifted the car lurched as normal. The speedometer is not registering a speed at all. All of the other gauges are working properly.
How does a solenoid get power to shift gears?
The transmission control module (TCM) — the brains of the transmission — will send power to one of the shift solenoids in order to shift gears. Inside the solenoid, there’s a plunger surrounded by a magnetic coil.
What to do if you have a bad Shift Solenoid?
If you notice any of the following symptoms of a faulty shift solenoid, get your car to a mechanic right away. Avoid any highway use and have it towed, if necessary. If you leave it unchecked, your transmission can get damaged, which will lead to a very costly repair bill.
What should the resistance of a transmission solenoid be?
It is grounded by the transmission computer at the other terminal. 2) The shift solenoid resistance range is from 20 to 40 Ohms, but do check the vehicle specs. 3) Use a ceramic 10 Ohms resistor in series with a head light to test the solenoid.
What’s the problem with my Buick Rendezvous transmission?
1st and 2nd gears shift hard and the rest shift hard but not as hard as 1st and 2nd. If I’m in town going 25-45mph it sputters like it’s stuck between gears just started happening within the past couple days out of nowhere had trans fluid checked and changed when I had my oil changed a day ago nothing changed
