Hey all,
2016 EX-L with 85k miles. I've gotten the dreaded P0776: "A/T Cutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve B Stuck Off" that is accompanied by an occasional hard shift from second to third gear around 20 mph. If I had to guess I would say the hard shift happens ~10% of the time. On the rare occasions it has happened 2-3 times in a row, we can power cycle the van and it will stop, which is interesting to me.
I have replaced the third gear pressure switch a month or two ago, and have been doing ATF drain and fills and just completed my third this past weekend (but haven't had a chance to really drive it or get the ATF good and mixed up). That being said, after two drain and fills the problem still persisted, so I am doubtful this third one will help much.
I'm a bit unsure as to my next step. Many comments online seem to indicate that I'm probably heading for a new transmission. But is it possible that the solenoid itself can be addressed / replaced, or is is more likely you really have to replace the whole secondary valve body assembly? There aren't many videos or information online about this, which means it might well be beyond my level of competency. I have done larger projects like my valve cover gasket, but is this an instance where I probably just need to take it to my mechanic or a transmission shop-- or is there something else I can possibly look into before taking that step?
For what it's worth, we do plan to keep driving for now and will see if this third drain and fill helps. But I also want to be proactive rather than waiting for the day the transmission craps out on my wife and kids. Any help would be appreciated!
