Shift Solenoid Mechanical Function Testing
Hi All:
My transmission is slipping b/t 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd.
I have done multiple T-IV fluid flushes and OEM filter replacements. Fluid is clean and there are no signs of wear or metal debris in the pan.
I would like to test the mechanical function of the shift solenoids. I have seen the device and method depicted in the links below. Although it is listed as a GM kit, in the video it is mentioned as generally applicable and I have seen mention of its use on other makes, eg, Hyundai, Isuzu, Nissan.
Two questions:
- Has anyone tried to use this device to test the mechanical on/off function of RX300 shift solenoids?
- Does anyone have another method or device to suggest for testing the mechanical on/off function of RX300 solenoids?

Thanks, Jacob

FYI - I messaged the author of the youtube video above. He has tried the GM kit on Toyota/Lexus solenoids and it does not work.
I have a design for a simple test rig. If it works I will post a DIY.

Jigs typically make sense if you have repeat testing to do.
I dont want to discourage you, but keep in mind the problem can be elsewhere. For simple testing you can check resistance and or clicking. In the actual transmissions the passage ways may be blocked.
