Error Code P0775 = Pressure Control Solenoid B (5R55S transmission)
Extreme high reving without shift from 1 to 2, but shifts if you "hover" between 2K-3K rpm. Will not shift into 5 either using Select Shift or on Auto--gives Check Transmission Warning, but only once you've tried one of the above shifts. As long as you Select Shift only from 2 to 3 to 4 and back, it gives no warning.
Since it had already been driven once the check tranny/check engine lights came on... I've kept on driving it while trying to find a solenoid pack for less than CAD$400 and round out somone to help me install.
There is definitely some loss of "power". Car also seems to have a "hard time" continuing in the higher geer. e.g. after a shift from 2-3 at 3K rpm; rpms fall to below 2K before picking up again under low accellaration.
The other day on the highway it would drop rpms when gas was not being applied, even though it was in gear. It was acting as if placed in neutral (roping from 3+K to just under 1K) when gas wasn't applied and would only "drive up again" when rpms would go up to 2K-3K. This was not repeated the next day, but fuel consumption is WAY WAY up and it feels like it is not going at a speed comensurate to the gear/rpm.
So, the first question is: does it sound like it is just the solenoid, or does it sound like much more than that?
Second questions is: I got the local Ford Dealer to look up the car's repair records on OASIS. Under warranty at 12,500 miles and 20,500 miles the solenoid pack was replaced (once called pressure, once shift, but it is still one solenoid pack).
Still under warranty the transmission was brought in over 8 times by the previous owner, but usually sent out as no fault found (complains: delays when engaging in reverse, or loud clunks at various situations). The PCM has been re-flashed to the lates Ford PCM program (at least as of 40K miles and two years ago).
Since I've had the car there have been no delays into reverse, but there are definitely clunks when gearing down from speed to a "slow down" and then re-accellerating without coming to a complete stop.
Also clunks when shifting from 2 to 3.
The car is now at 63,500 miles.
This will be either the third or fourth solenoid pack (I didn't "catch" the full repair info for a "minor rebuilt" at 31,000 miles).
I don't think solenoid packs should need to be changed more often than brake pads... any ideas about what may be going on and advice what to do?
Third question: is there a "trusted" transmission rebuilder in the forum. Someone I can trust to actually replace all the parts that should be beefed up as opposed to only doing the minimal rebuild. What would such a job cost?
And yes, i do love the LS's handling/ride... so I don't want to get rid of it... just repair it!
