P075B Shift Solenoid G Performance/Stuck Off

Shift solenoid G is electrically intact, but its hydraulic effect is missing — when commanded on, the gear it should engage does not lock up. Either the solenoid is mechanically stuck closed, the valve body bore is worn, or hydraulic pressure does not reach the clutch pack.

Is it safe to drive with P075B?

Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
