4L65E Governor Pressure Solenoid, new and ready to install. Fits the 4L65E. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing carries reference number 24230298, the GM on/off shift solenoid used in the 4L65E and the rest of the 4L60E family, new in GM packaging as the photo shows. Buyers often find it under the name "governor pressure solenoid," but the 4L65E has no governor; these solenoids are what tell the valve body which gear to hold. If your 2001-2007 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban or Avalanche with the 5.3L or 6.0L will not upshift, pulls away in the wrong gear or logs a shift solenoid circuit code, this is the part to test first. It is $152.59, covered by a 1-year warranty, and ships from the USA.
The 4L65E valve body carries two on/off shift solenoids, one in the 1-2 (A) position and one in the 2-3 (B) position. Each is switched by the module to either hold or exhaust its signal oil, and the shift valves move according to which combination of the two is on, giving four gears from two switches. Because the solenoids only open or close, they are simple and durable, but a sticking ball, a shorted coil or debris at the inlet will change the combination and the transmission lands in the wrong gear. The A and B positions use the same solenoid, which is why one number covers either spot.
A wrong-gear complaint is not always electrical. A worn sun shell or input drum, both known 4L65E weak points, can also take gears away, so read our 4L65E common problems guide before committing to a repair.
Unplug the case connector and measure each solenoid circuit. ATRA lists the 1-2 and 2-3 shift solenoids at 20-40 ohms each, measured between the shared feed pin and each solenoid's control pin. An open or shorted reading confirms a bad coil. A reading in range does not clear a solenoid that sticks mechanically, so also compare commanded gear to actual gear on a scan tool during a road test. When both codes set together, check the common power feed and its crimps first; ATRA documented that fault producing no shifts and multiple codes on this family. The 4L65E shift solenoid guide and the speed sensor guide help rule out the other inputs that confuse shift logic.
The 24230298 shift solenoid is a 4L60E-family part, and the 4L65E uses it in 2001-2007 GM full-size trucks and SUVs. It plugs into the internal harness and is held by a clip on the valve body. Match the body shape and terminal of your old solenoid to the photo, or send us your year and VIN. If you need several solenoids at once, compare this with the 4L65E solenoid kit or the 2008 set with internal harness. The full range is on the 4L65E parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The 4L65E has no governor. This is GM 24230298, the on/off shift solenoid used in the A and B positions on the valve body. It is often searched for under the governor name.
Both. The 1-2 (A) and 2-3 (B) shift solenoids in the 4L65E use the same part, so one number covers either spot.
The photo shows GM-boxed stock for reference number 24230298. If you need a specific count, message us before checkout and we will confirm.
ATRA lists 20-40 ohms for each shift solenoid circuit at the case connector. Outside that range, replace it; inside it, still check for sticking with a scan tool road test.
No. The solenoid is on the valve body under the pan. You will need fresh Dexron VI, a new filter and a pan gasket.
