I'm trying to fix on ongoing P0765 code in a '01 ES300 indicating a transmission shift solenoid "D" malfunction. My car no longer shifts into overdrive. I took the pan off and there was no metal shavings. I took the valve body off and cleaned it out as well as the solenoids. Put it all back together and it is still not working. My next step is to replace the solenoid. Can anyone tell me from this diagram which solenoid is "D"?
Is there anywhere I can purchase the solenoid D on its own? Guy at the auto shop says I have to buy the whole package to get the one part. I'm not interested in buying things I have no use for. Anybody?

This is for the U140E Transmission:
35230 - Solenoid D
35220 - Solenoid B
35240 - Solenoid DSL Lockup (Solenoid E)
35210 - Solenoid A
35290A - Solenoid SLT Line Pressure

You can check ebay or rock auto.
Count the holes on your transmission pan.
18 Bolts = U140E Transmission
17 Bolts = A514E Transmission
This is all I could find, I looked at rock auto, but none of the transmission codes match and neither do the part codes. I also didn't see anything about an overdrive solenoid so I don't think they have it. I just have no idea how to tell if its the right one.

If you have the U140E transmission then you want
"Shift Solenoid; Trans. code U140E; SS3, S4 Shift 3"
Its the first one.
Or Ebay:

You may want to confirm with the seller that this is the right part, however this looks exactly like Solenoid D and no other solenoids are this small, the description just seems off to me.
Can Solenoid D be replaced with transmission in the car, and just removing the pan?
Thanks!
You have to remove the pan, filter, and valve body. I've only done it once with the transmission in the car still. So in other words getting that valve body back in was a major pain in the ***. Just a warning.
If you loosen all the bolts slowly you may be able to lower the valve body enough to remove the solenoid but I don't think so.

Oh man, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.
Old thread, I know, but in referencing this, I learned that the solenoid D can be replaced without removing the valve body. It's simply one screw and it's out. I tried, but was unsuccessful removing the other solenoids with the valve body in place.
I was able to use a pick to unstick mine, and remove debris. Back in and it seems to have solved my P0765 code, and once again shifts into high gear. I am pretty excited because i was not looking forward to paying for a rebuild.
The other thing I noticed was that the OEM filter was more of a fine mesh screen. The cheap aftermarket one uses a gauze fabric and looks like it will filter much better, but possible increase the risk of clogging. I'll probably replace it again at my next oil change just so I can see what it has picked up.
Also note, contrary to what I had read elsewhere, a simple filter and fluid change did not solve the problem.

Just checking that the black colored connector is the connector for solenoid D. One bolt and it can be removed, right?
