Guys, I'm curious, which solenoids are you replacing? SLU is listed as the TCC solenoid, so its strange that some people say they replaced SLU AND the TCC solenoid. They're the same right? Take a look at this site from sonnax:

I replaced the SLU solenoid. Then drove it for about ~50 miles and came up with 2 more codes and wouldnt shift past 3rd. P0894 and P2714 codes come up. Trouble tree diag suggest to replace another solenoid. (SLT solenoid) I'm an advisor at a Subaru Dealer... Just gonna have my Master tech install a used Tranny if the calibration/re-flash doesn't work on Tues.. We'll see..

Keep ya'll updated.

Going this route is probably for the best. I find (with transmissions), if something goes, there is more to follow. Best to just get a known good, used replacement.

Let us know how it goes...and the wedding too!

I have the same issues as everyone else. VSC lights came on around 80k miles. Took to dealership n was told it was a sensor. Had it replace. Cost me a total of $600+. Been awhile so don't remember exact. As for the stutter part it comes n goes for me. As for the transmission oil, I tried to change my engine oil n accidentally drain the transmission oil. Lol...Anyhow, I called Toyota n they told me they can fill my tranny oil. Drove my car there with little to no tranny oil. I was told that it's ok as long as I don't go to fast. Anyways, Toyota fill it up for me for about $200+. Again don't remember cuz it's been awhile. So far I'm at 115k miles n no known issues besides the stutter part at stop but it's random. Btw, I own a 08 is250 rwd.

^You're lucky the trans houses alot of oil internally that doesn't transfer down into the pan upon shut-off!
