Welcome back to the channel. In today’s video, we’re diving straight into the recent task of taking out the front of a transmission in a Prius to address the shift solenoid issue. Let’s delve into the process.
First, I started by jacking up the car and removing the front seat to check the interior. Although the carpet was wet on one side, I switched the interior from another Malibu.
Next, I used a 36 socket to remove the cv axle bolt, which I acquired from my local auto store. The bolt was tough to remove, but after some struggle, I managed to take it out.
Then, I proceeded to remove the bolts to take the front of the transmission off. These bolts required a small ratchet due to their tightness. After a significant effort, I succeeded in removing the front of the transmission.
Upon closer inspection, I found a broken wire, which I believe to be the cause of the persistent code PO700 issue. I’ve decided to order the necessary parts and address the wire problem, but for now, I’ve put everything back in place and will wait for the parts to arrive before continuing with the repair.
Despite the challenges faced during this process, I’m hopeful that this discovery will resolve the transmission issue in the car. I’ll be sharing updates as I progress with the repairs, so stay tuned for more content on the channel. Thank you for watching.
