Had code: P1740. I Changed Transmission filter and fluid. Car will not engage any gear and feels like it's permanently in neutral.
Placed car in Park. Disconnected Negative battery cable.
Removed transmission pan.
Uninstalled the solenoid valve cartridge
Uninstalled old then reinstalled new transmission fluid filter (the one that has 1 nut on top)
When reinstalling the valve solenoid cartridge I reattached the Negative battery terminal and switched the gears into Neutral because there was a metal arm that wouldn't let me freely push it upwards.
Put the gear back into park after I reinstalled the valve solenoid cartridge. Disconnected battery terminal again.
Reinstalled transmission pan.
Added the same amount of trans fluid that I took out (6 qts) Dexron VI Full Synthetic and I read the details: ...recommended for use in GM transmissions model year 2006 and newer calling for DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (replaces DEXRON-III and DEXRON-II(E) or recommended for any other vehicle manufacturer that calls for DEXRON-VI, III or II(E). ACDelco DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid is not for use in CVT (Continuously Variable Transmissions) or DCT (Dual Clutch Transmissions) that require specialized fluids.
Started car, put into reverse and car wouldn't go. Tried all gears and it would seem the car just stays in Neutral.
