CHANGING THE VALVE BODY ON MY TRANSMISSION..EASY OR HARD?
I HAVE AN 03 CHEVY TAHOE. IM VERY HANDY AND LOVE DOING ALOT OF MECHANICAL REPAIRS ON MY CAR. BUT NEVER DONE ANY TYPE OF TRANSMISSION WORK. AND I HAD TAKEN THE SUV TO THE DEALER OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND A P0756 CODE CAME UP AND STATES THE 2-3 SHIFT SOLENOID IS FAILING SO THEY RECOMENDED ME TO CHANGE THE VALVLE BODY AT A PRICE OF $518 AND ANOTHER 280 FOR LABOR.... MY QUESTION HOW HARD AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO CHANGE THIS PART? THANKS
IM THINKING OF SAYING F$$% IT AND HAVE THE DEALER DO IT FOR $280 HAVE IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND HIT THE RIVER ALL DAY SATURDAY INSTEAD OF BEING UNDER THE TRUCK IN THIS 100 DEGREE WEATHER WE HAVING HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
EA. SOLENOID IS 100 BUCKS Y GET BOTH U SAY? WELL IF THE 2-3 SOLENOID IS OUT THEN ITS MORE THAN LIKELY THAT THE 1-2 SOLENOID IS NOT FAR FROM GOING OUT AS WELL. SO ID RATHER CHANGE BOTH... AND FOR AN ADDITIONAL 300 ILL CHANGE THE VALVE BODY AS I HEAR THE ORIFICES GET CLOGGED UP AND CAUSE THE VALVES TO STICK... WHILE IM DOWN THERE ID LIKE TO REPLACE ANYTHING THATS NEAR THE VALVE BODY ITSELF..SOO MIGHT AS WELL TO BE SURE FORSURE

Just change the 2-3 shift solenoid its easy and you don't have to drop valve body.

If you are mechanically inclined, it is a SNAP!!! You might get away with just washing it down in situ with CHLORINATED brake cleaner. Be sure to use ONLY a GM specified trans fluid. YOu can even drop the valve body and clean things out MORE thoroughly. Use ALLDATA data base found in many libraries as a guide. Here, it will list any secret recalls about your trans that GM might not be telling you. GOod luck!!
