Default Valve body or solenoid????

TCC solenoid needs to be replace code P2757 shifting issues. Conformed by a Lexus tech. So after much research I been seeing alot of other issues that like other solenoids going bad after the fix. I figure if I'm spending $200+ on just the one solenoid might as well just replace the whole valve body for about $400. And not have to worry if theres crap built up ot other solenoids going bad. Also I can keep the old valve body for spare parts. What do you guys think.

I was in the same boat as you.....but after a lot of research (there is a big thread) many people who changed solenoids come back later saying now another solenoid goes bad. So I decided to get a used +10 transmission for $900 and couldn’t be happier.

Im open to that option but here in Hawaii um having hard time finding a used trans. I did find a very low mileage 60k FRS trans but still looking into compatibility. There both a960e transmissions but there might be small differences, not sure yet.
