Give your transmission a solenoid built to actuate its valves on command with the Standard Ignition Transmission Control Solenoid TCS53. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth models, among them the 1989-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1990-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2019 Dodge Journey. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A transmission control solenoid is an electrically operated valve. The control module energizes it to direct transmission fluid pressure for shifting. Standard Ignition's TCS53 is built around these features:
Signs this solenoid may need replacing include harsh or delayed shifts, a transmission that stays in one gear, or a stored transmission trouble code. These symptoms can also come from low or degraded fluid or from wiring faults, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed solenoid is the cause, the TCS53 replaces it.

Which vehicles does the Standard Ignition TCS53 fit?
It fits many Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth models, including the 1989-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1990-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2019 Dodge Journey. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Does the TCS53 come with a gasket?
Yes. An OE-style gasket is included. It works with the precision-machined mounting surface to seal the unit against the transmission case.
Will the TCS53 plug into my existing wiring?
The assembly uses OE-matching connectors and terminals. They are designed to connect precisely to the engine wire harness on the listed applications.
What does the copper winding do?
The 100% copper winding is designed to give positive valve actuation when the solenoid is commanded. Its resistance and inductance are matched to OE standards.
What are signs a transmission control solenoid may be failing?
Harsh or delayed shifts, a transmission that stays in one gear, or a stored transmission code can be signs. These symptoms have other possible causes too, so diagnose the problem before replacing the solenoid.
