My car is giving the code PO753. The transmission will not downshift unless I manually pull it into low. When I shift it from low to 2nd it misses 2nd and goes from low to 3rd. I pulled the pan. The fluid was clean. Which solenoid would that be and what would fix it?

Hi MSBRIDGES,

The solenoid you need to replace is the one with the green wire, I have attached a wiring diagram so you can check it out and let me know if that fixes it. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
