Hey I am running into the exact same problem as you are ... my car has a bad solenoid #2 (code 63). Just wondering if you have had any luck finding one and if so where did you get it? I have been reading about this and i think i am going to replace the transmission mount while im at it, i am about to post a pic in my "codes" thread i started earlier with a pic of what i am pretty sure is solenoid # 2, look forward to your input

I noticed that when the engine is cold, it shifts to second like normal. Its possible its just the connection? May be I should just swap a 5 speed in...

Haven't had any codes run on my SC yet but is I'm pretty sure I'm having the same problem. Do you get a bogged down/hesitation when accelerating from a stop? As if the car were being held back.

some problems i had prior to changing them...

when taking off from a stop i will get 1st gear and then it will default into 3rd or OD
when you want to accelerate you cant and the car feels dead.

In very cold weather it will work untill the trany warms up.

to replace them

Take off trany oil pan, the solenoids will be the first things you see and are held by 2 bolts for each bank. be careful when taking the wire out each solenoid because they might be dry root and might snap.I recommend that you change all one shot and change your filter while your under there. Good luck.
