Powertrain Perspective Bob Warnke

At Transmission Digest, we get a lot of inquiries from people who have taken on a transmission project and typically they've thrown a solenoid or two at it already, and now they're a little lost and they don't seem to have the tools that they need. So on this episode of Powertrain Perspective, we decided to address that. Most of the time, it starts with a diagnostic trouble code. For this episode, we use the valve body as an example. When you test a valve body, is it the harness, the solenoids? Where do you start? Bob Warnke, industry veteran and owner of Bob Warnke Consulting, joins the show to address this question and more. He says it's "always complicated depending on what the original complaint was." - From there, we get into more details of the repair, including: - What to know about the different types of solenoid you might see; - What to look for in the visual inspection; and - The details of vacuum testing. For all of those answers and more, watch the episode above.
