Shift solenoid electrical b

Post by bwright91 »

Hey all! New to the forums! Wanted to start off with some tips and tricks for replacing a 1999 volvo s70 shift solenoid. She's in limp home mode right now. Had the codes scanned and got the code for the solenoid.
Anyway, I'm replacing it. I know I need fluids, tranny pan gasket, and of course, the solenoid. Has anyone here replace it? Anything to look out for? Do I need any other parts? Thanks for the help guys! Cheers.:mrgreen:

Welcome.
There is a gorgeous write-up by Donc here that may be of use. It is for a '97 855 GLT and shows how he replaced the S2 solenoid in his automatic transmission:
