machm1970 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 My 2012 SXT is having shifting issues, specifically it won't shift out of first gear. I disconnected the negative battery cable a few times and that fixed it for awhile, but not anymore. A shop scanned it and said they got a code for the shifter solenoid. I see I can purchase a new one for around $150. I'm pretty mechanical, but I can't find any info on where the solenoid is located or how to replace it. Has anyone else had this shifting issue? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machm1970 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 FIXED! I located 2 speed sensors on the trans that are easily accessible by taking off the front driver's side wheel. Total for both was $60 so I decided just to change both. I have looked at a few other posts on here regarding the same issue, but people don't seem to post what the fix was, hope this helps someone else.

Armando G Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Any chance you took pictures of their location while you were down there? And congrats on getting it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machm1970 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Here ya go, not the best pic though. Each one has 2 wires and one 8mm bolt holding it in. Matt 2late4u and Armando G 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
