Chrysler Repair: Caravan 01 SE Eng. 3,3L: Solenoid B = solenoid pack?, solenoid pack, vertical shift


Question
QUESTION: where is located solenoid B for the transmission and how is the procedure to take off
Thanks in Advance

ANSWER: Hi Carlos,
Do you mean the solenoid/pressure switch assembly? I have not heard of "Solenoid B" but because it looks box-like in structure maybe you mean the the "solenoid BOX".
The solenoid/pressure switch assembly is on the side of the transmission that faces the front of the minivan. It is box-like and located in the same area as the vertical shift rod and the input speed sensor.
Disconnect the battery cable
Remove the air cleaner assembly
Disconnect the multipin plug from the solenoid/pressure switch assebly (top)
Disconnect the plug from the input speed sensor just above the assembly
Unscrew the input speed sensor and remove
Remove the three (3) vertical case bolts that attach the assembly to the transmission
Remove the assembly and the gasket underneath it, and be careful not to get any foreign material into the ports underneath where the assembly was positioned.

Assembly is the reverse:
Install assembly and new gasket
Torque the case bolts to 9 foot-pounds
Install the speed sensor and torque it to 20 foot-pounds
You may want to do a 'quick learn procedure' after this is completed.

QUESTION: Sorry, I found two houses at top of the box is necessary take off both ?

Answer
Hi Carlos,
Just remove the input speed sensor, below the hoses. Then the three vertical bolts that hold the solenoid pack in place, remove those. Then remove the pack and its gasket.
The hoses should not get in the way of the removal or installation process.
Thanks for the rating and kind remarks.
