2007 Lincoln Town Car Transmission Solenoid Location
Introduction
The transmission solenoid is a vital part of the automatic transmission system in the 2007 Lincoln Town Car. It is responsible for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to the transmission’s clutches and bands, which in turn shift the gears. If the transmission solenoid fails, the transmission may not be able to shift gears properly, or it may even fail completely.
Symptoms of a Faulty Transmission Solenoid
There are a number of symptoms that may indicate a faulty transmission solenoid, including:
* Difficulty shifting gears
* Slipping gears
* Harsh shifting
* Loss of power
* Check engine light illuminated
Location of the Transmission Solenoid
The transmission solenoid is located on the side of the transmission case. It is typically held in place by a few bolts. To access the transmission solenoid, you will need to remove the transmission pan.
Removal and Replacement of the Transmission Solenoid
To remove and replace the transmission solenoid, you will need the following tools:
* Socket wrench
* Ratchet
* Transmission fluid filter wrench
* New transmission solenoid
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Allow the engine to cool down completely.
3. Locate the transmission pan and remove the bolts that hold it in place.
4. Carefully lower the transmission pan and drain the transmission fluid into a drain pan.
5. Use the transmission fluid filter wrench to remove the transmission filter.
6. Locate the transmission solenoid and remove the bolts that hold it in place.
7. Carefully pull the transmission solenoid out of the transmission case.
8. Install the new transmission solenoid into the transmission case.
9. Tighten the bolts that hold the transmission solenoid in place.
10. Install the transmission filter and tighten the bolts that hold it in place.
11. Replace the transmission pan and tighten the bolts that hold it in place.
12. Add new transmission fluid to the transmission.
13. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
14. Check the transmission fluid level and add more fluid if necessary.
Conclusion
Replacing the transmission solenoid is a relatively simple procedure that can be completed in about an hour. However, it is important to note that this procedure requires the removal of the transmission pan and the draining of the transmission fluid. If you are not comfortable performing this procedure yourself, it is recommended that you have it done by a qualified mechanic.
