Chrysler Repair: Transmission Problem: code 0733, solenoid valve, 2000 dodge intrepid


Question
2000 Dodge Intrepid-transmission won't go past second gear and makes a whining sound, pulled two error codes and they are 0700 and 0733. How can solenoid pack be tested without removing it?

Answer
Hi Mauro,
About the only diagnostic test would be to measure the clutch volume indices, at a good independent shop. Abnormalities there might suggest an issue with the solenoid valve(s) but were that the case you should also have an 0870 or 0871. The shop could also do the 3rd gear clutch test to verify the ratio error. Those are about the only things to try to avoid the diagnosis of rebuilding. You have verified the transfluid level to be ok, correct. And also check that the shift selector level is adjusted properly to match the shifter in the cabin.
Best of luck with this. The 0700 just says another trans code has been 'set', and the 0733 says there is a speed sensor ratio error in 3rd gear.
