What is a shift solenoid?
So apparently, my car has a bad shift solenoid. What is a shift solenoid?

Great question! A shift solenoid is an important part of your car’s transmission. It acts as a sort of gatekeeper, controlling the flow of transmission fluid.
In doing so, it is responsible for shifting the gears in your automatic transmission. If you have a bad shift solenoid, then you’ve probably been having some issue with your car not changing gears properly.
While you’re in the mood to learn more about your car, you might want to review your
