P0750 — Shift Solenoid A Malfunction
serious
What it means
The transmission control module detects an electrical fault in shift solenoid A, which directs hydraulic pressure to the clutch packs for a specific gear. An open winding, a short or a wrong current draw makes the solenoid unable to switch, so one or more gears become unavailable. The car typically shifts harshly, skips a gear or stays in limp mode with third gear only.
Likely causes (most common first)
- Electrically failed shift solenoid, open or shorted winding
- Solenoid mechanically stuck by varnish or metal debris in dirty fluid
- Damaged wiring or corroded case connector between TCM and solenoid pack
- Low transmission fluid level or a clogged filter
- Worn valve body bore around the solenoid
- Faulty output driver in the transmission control module
Can you drive with it?
Drive only as far as the workshop and gently: gear engagement is unreliable and hard shifts damage the clutches.
