2001 Saturn SL2 Valve body replacement

Do you have a delay into reverse?Do you have any codes?Let me know.

You have to new of a car to flash the codes out you will have to go to a place where they can scan your codes for you. The reason everything works better with your transmission when it sits is because the fluid is cooler and thicker. Those rpms shouldnt have anything to do with your problem. When you replaced your valve body did you tourqe it to the right torque. Also the right tourqe pattern?Where did you get the valve body from?Let me know.

Theres the installation process,the tourqe sequence,and the bolt location.You have the right tourqe though.Did you get the dowl bolts in the right location?As far as your noise goes sounds like your transmission actuators are just engaging which they make noise when they do that perfectly normal.you could have gotten a bad valve body even i have gotten bad ones that were factory reconditioned even but were not there yet to say that.Let me know what you find.

I dont know what code you have i just posted the trouble tree for code p0746 pessure control solindo low voltage so you could read about how it worked and kinda get an idea of how it works.I want you to check the trs Lp fuse in the underhood fuse box it wont have power you will have to visually inspect it.Thats your line pressure fuse.Also remove the connector to the valve body look at the back of plug comming off the engine harness its labeled with letters.Use it as a guide to find terminials F and G on the valve body connector bus plate take your ohm meter on 200 ohm scale and read the value across those two terminials it should be 3.8-7.2 ohms that will check your line pressure actuator electricialy.That doesnt make sense that they cant talk to your computer because supposedly your line pressure solindo is turned off never heard of that one.You need to get some codes out of your car though.You could have a problem with your wires going to your actuators even and that could have been your problem all a long and not your valve body.Iam not saying for sure but that is a possibilty.So did you try going to autozone just for a code scan?Let me know what you find.

Thats pretty sad autozone got codes but that shop couldn't.If you read the code p0732 it says that a 3rd gear solindo issue can cause the p0732 code.So start with the code p0782.The terminials you need for 3rd gear solindo on the valve body bus plate is A and B check it for ohms like i told you to check for the pressure control solindo.Let me know what you find.
