Sorry, yes I am going mad. I have a copy of a photo taken of a auto gearbox with the sumps removed but where did it come from, somewhere on this site, but where. I need it for someone to indicate the solenoids.

From ME!




Think the solenoid you are looking for is the one with the brown and white wires.

Yes as said the white and brown wire is the one 'sassanach' suggests, how do they fit, are they esay to change, would a secondhand one be ok ?

Blimey !   Whilst i had NO clue as to what the inside of a gear box would look like....I sure as hell wouldn't have thought it would have looked ANYTHING like that.  Amazing.

valve bodys, plates of alloy with hydraulic oil ways machined into them. The solenoids, activated by the ecu, open and close the oil ways which activate gears clutches and stuff that sit behind the valve bodys.... afaik. So the pic only shows about a 3rd of the story. And my description probably is about a 5th of all the other stuff that goes on. Torque converters, no idea how that works, none what so ever. Seem a cut away of one, still no idea. Would love to pull a box to bits one day and see how it works, just not mine please god, finger crossed, touch wood.
