Default electrical problems, help!

okay, so after looking all over, i'm desperate.

My speedometer doesn't work, odometer does, haven't been able to find a shop manual for my sc, anyone know how to test the cluster?

Transmission is giving an error code (3-6) i beleive, which means 3 bad transmission solenoids. it works, but seems to skip second gear under hard acceleration. (revs hard, then bogs) and reluctantly downshifts at speed,

I don't have much experience with auto trans.. are these internal, or external, and how hard would it be to change them? or would it be easier to get a new gearbox?

thigh bone connected to the hip bone. If your tranny is boned, your speedo will be also.

i highly doubt you have three bad sol. at one time i would check for a broken trans harness wires touching ground. also check your trans fluid for metal large metal shavings and a burnt smell
