P0750 on Chrysler
Shift Solenoid A Malfunction
P0750 on Chrysler vehicles indicates shift solenoid a malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 7 Chrysler models — most commonly on 300M, Cirrus, Concorde. This code indicates the transmission control system detected a malfunction in shift solenoid 'A', one of the electrically operated valves that direct hydraulic fluid to engage gears. The computer commands these solenoids to control upshifts and downshifts, and it monitors their circuits and the resulting gear changes. When solenoid A doesn't respond electrically as expected — or the resulting shift doesn't happen correctly — this code is set. You may notice harsh, delayed, or missing shifts, or the transmission may enter a fail-safe (limp) mode. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $100 to $3,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0750
- •Failed or stuck shift solenoid A
- •Open, shorted, or chafed solenoid wiring
- •Corroded or loose transmission connector
- •Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid
- •Clogged solenoid or valve body passages
- •Internal valve body or hydraulic fault
- •Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
P0750 on Chrysler by Model
Chrysler 300M(1 issue)
- 42LE Automatic Transmission Failure1999-2004
The 42LE 4-speed automatic transmission in the 300M is prone to premature failure, including solenoid pack issues, torque converter clutch failure, and internal clutch pack wear. The high torque output of the 3.5L V6 stresses the transmission beyond its design limits. Harsh shifting, slipping, and limp mode are common symptoms. The transmission is shared with the Intrepid, Concorde, and LHS, and the failure patterns are identical across all platforms. The solenoid pack and connector are the most common failure points.
Chrysler Cirrus(1 issue)
- 41TE Automatic Transmission Solenoid Failure1995-2000
The 41TE (A604) automatic transmission is prone to solenoid pack failure causing erratic shifting, limp mode, and harsh engagement. The 41TE was one of the first fully electronic automatic transmissions and reliability suffered.
Chrysler Concorde(1 issue)
- 42LE Transmission Solenoid Pack Failure1998-2004
The Concorde's 42LE 4-speed automatic transmission suffers from solenoid pack failures that cause erratic shifting, limp mode, and delayed engagement. The internal solenoid seals deteriorate, causing pressure loss and harsh or missed shifts.
Chrysler Fifth Avenue(1 issue)
- A604 (41TE) Transaxle Premature Failure1990-1993
The Fifth Avenue uses the Chrysler A604 (41TE) fully electronic 4-speed transaxle, which was notorious for reliability issues in its early years. The solenoid pack and valve body suffer from design limitations that cause erratic shifting and limp mode. The transmission goes into "limp home" mode (locked in 2nd gear) as a protective measure when it detects solenoid or pressure errors. The Fifth Avenue's heavier curb weight compared to other A604-equipped vehicles accelerates wear.
Chrysler LeBaron(1 issue)
- A604 (41TE) Automatic Transaxle Electronic Shift Solenoid Failure1990-1995
The LeBaron uses the Chrysler A604 (41TE) 4-speed electronically-controlled automatic transaxle. This was one of the first fully electronic automatics and its solenoid pack is the primary failure point. The solenoids develop internal leaks and electrical failures, causing erratic shifting, no-shift conditions, and limp mode (locked in 2nd gear). The transmission controller can also fail. The A604 was so problematic that Chrysler extended warranty coverage on early units.
Chrysler LHS(2 issues)
- 42LE Automatic Transmission Failure1994-2001
The 42LE 4-speed automatic transmission in the LHS shares the same failure patterns as the Intrepid, Concorde, and 300M. Solenoid pack failures, torque converter clutch issues, and internal clutch pack wear lead to harsh shifting, slipping, and limp mode. The LHS's heavy curb weight and 3.5L V6 torque output stress the transmission. The solenoid pack and transmission connector are the most common failure points and can be serviced without removing the transmission.
- 41TE/42LE Transmission Solenoid and Shift Issues1994-2001
The automatic transmission develops solenoid pack failures and valve body wear causing harsh shifts, delayed engagement, and limp mode. The transmission control module can also develop cold solder joints causing intermittent issues.
Chrysler Prowler(1 issue)
- AutoStick Transmission Harsh Shifting1999-2002
The 4-speed automatic with AutoStick develops harsh and erratic shifts. The transmission adaptive learning software can become confused, and solenoid pack issues cause delayed or harsh gear changes.

What does P0750 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0750 stands for "Shift Solenoid A Malfunction." This code indicates the transmission control system detected a malfunction in shift solenoid 'A', one of the electrically operated valves that direct hydraulic fluid to engage gears. The computer commands these solenoids to control upshifts and downshifts, and it monitors their circuits and the resulting gear changes. When solenoid A doesn't respond electrically as expected — or the resulting shift doesn't happen correctly — this code is set. You may notice harsh, delayed, or missing shifts, or the transmission may enter a fail-safe (limp) mode. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 7 models.
What causes P0750 on Chrysler vehicles?▼
Common causes on Chrysler: Failed or stuck shift solenoid A, Open, shorted, or chafed solenoid wiring, Corroded or loose transmission connector, Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid, Clogged solenoid or valve body passages. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P0750 on a Chrysler?▼
Repair costs on Chrysler range from $100 to $3,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Which Chrysler models have P0750 documented?▼
Au7o has documented P0750 on 7 Chrysler models: 300M, Cirrus, Concorde, Fifth Avenue, LeBaron, LHS, Prowler.
