Specific signs:

Shift Solenoid Malfunction:

* Gear shifts with a delay or does not shift at all
* The transmission does not engage or engages with a shock
* Car gets stuck in one gear and won’t shift

Pressure solenoid malfunction:

* Slipping when upshifting
*Hard shifting or shock when shifting
* Increased noise from automatic transmission

Torque Converter Lockup Solenoid Malfunction:

* Slipping when driving at speed
* Increased fuel consumption
* Deterioration in acceleration dynamics

Main line pressure solenoid malfunction:

*Hard gear shifting in all modes
* Slipping or increased slippage in some gears
* Problems with shifting gears when driving uphill or under load

Torque converter cut-off solenoid malfunction:

* Increased fuel consumption
* Deterioration in acceleration dynamics
* Automatic transmission overheating due to torque converter slippage
