Pretty cool site I always refer to before tackling a job.

Hey masagsxr those links do not work CL doesn't allow parts websites to show on here. I only see 2 shift solenoids not 3. You might as well replace both if there not to expensive. You need to drain the tranny fluid first out of the pan there is a drain bolt that you need to loosen. Then after doing that you need to take the pan off. Once that is done you should be able to see the wires going into the shift solenoids. I think there bolted into the valve body. If not you need to remove the tranny filter. Might as well replace the filter while your in there. It shouldn't be that hard to do. Let me know if you need anymore info. BTW where in FL are you located?

Thanks SHOLEXMAN... Yeah I didn't know.. I was just trying to help...

I see 4 solenoid inside the tranny.

Here are some pictures

The info system I was looking said 2 for some reason pos. I don't know why I was thinking there would be 2 when there is usually 4.

Maybe you were checking the solenoid outside the tranny under the shifter? There is a couple there but just to release the lock so you can shift up/down or something. Thats on *******

blessedone said its something with shifting in between gears so I thought it would be internal.
