P0750 — P0750 — Shift Solenoid "A"
Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
What P0750 means
P0750 means shift solenoid 'A' in the transmission has an electrical fault or isn't working correctly. Shift solenoids control the flow of fluid that engages each gear, so a bad one disrupts shifting. This often results in hard shifts or the transmission being stuck in a particular gear.
Common symptoms
- Harsh or delayed shifting
- Transmission stuck in one gear
- Limp mode activated
- Erratic or skipped shifts
- Check engine light on
Common causes
- Faulty shift solenoid 'A'
- Low or dirty transmission fluid clogging the solenoid
- Damaged wiring or connector to the solenoid
- Electrical short or open in the solenoid circuit
- Valve body problems
- Faulty transmission control module
Typical repair cost
$150 – $1000
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drive with a P0750 code?
Briefly, yes, but not for long. A bad shift solenoid can leave you stuck in one gear or in limp mode, which is hard on the transmission, so get it to a shop soon.
How much does it cost to fix P0750?
Replacing a shift solenoid typically costs $150-$500, but if it's mounted inside and the pan or valve body must come off, it can reach $600-$1,000.
Is P0750 serious?
It's a high-severity code because it affects how the transmission shifts. Left alone, the rough shifting and limp mode can accelerate wear on internal components.
What does shift solenoid 'A' do?
It's a small electrically controlled valve that directs transmission fluid to engage a gear. When it fails, the transmission can't shift into or out of that gear properly.
