morning all, I need to replace tcc solenoid in my moms 99 sable. is it inside main trans pan where filter is or somewhere else? thanx in advance, any info is helpful.

 

It's inside the side pan.

 

Curious. Why does it need replacement?

 

someone had asked why replace tcc. car runs,shifts idles, great but engine light is on and code says tcc is the cause. any tips would be great and is side pan accesable reasonably or not really? I wouldent worry about it but needs inspection, thanx to all, pine

 

It's not an easy job. You have to support the engine and transmission and remove the left hand transmission mount to get the pan off. There isn't much room in there.

And when you get it all done you might still have the same problem. Depending on WHICH TCC code is set it could be the wiring to the solenoid.

 

Just because the code indicated a fault does not mean that particular item is wonky. Merely there is a problem in that circuit.
Similar to an underinflated tire message being displayed. You would not replace the tire, valve stem and rim.

Clear the code.

Inspect all wiring to the connector.
Look for water or oil intrusion. Green fuzzies are bad too. g


As Mark indicated. This is not a user friendly transmission.
