Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

Why do you say "severe"? Right now I am at 5 clicks clockwise and it is shifting nearly flawlessly. A click appears to be about 1/6th of a turn.

Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

Success! With a new SLT installed, I was able to adjust it just about 7 clicks in to get the 2-3 flare under control. The screw from the previous SLT was in the oil pan, and the spring and clip were still in the bore, so at least I did not FOD the tranny. Lowering the subframe in front really made t...

Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

Scott from Rostra was right, he thought maybe the adjustment screw might fall out with that many counter clockwise turns. I looked in there, the entire adjustment screw and clip were GONE. So I will be lowering the subframe this morning and taking the oil pan off to correct the mistake. I hope I hav...

Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

The adaptation tells the trans when to shift is my understanding, so if its out of sync then obviously it will cause higher and lower pressures. I may be wrong but that's my understanding and everything ive read most people say it must be done. I'm getting my reman valve body in the mail today actu...

Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

You will have to find a shop that has the proper equipment (vida-dice) and the most up to date software and then they can put it in trans adaptive mode. When in the mode the car has to be driven a certain speed for a certain time period. Usually its best to let a dealer do it. As far as the solenoi...

Re: need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

Hey Welcome to MVS ! So.. the transmission was working fine in the original car and now its shifting hard after the swap ? I would say you need to have the software update done and also have a trans adaptive done as well. Since youve installed it into another car and it was working fine before I th...

need help with Rostra Solenoid upgrade

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I think I am missing something very fundamental: I am kind of stuck in the middle of a tranny swap gone bad. I bought a 2002 V70 2.4T FWD that had a bad AW55-50SN tranny, and I planned to move the good tranny from my wife's 2002 V70 2.3 T5, which had su...
