Hello, my vehicle listed above is not going into gear properly (delayed shifting) and then shifting very hard when it does go into gear. The mechanic flushed the transmission and put in new fluid, but this did not resolve the issue. The code says it’s Shift Solenoid B. I’m prepared to try and fix this myself, but I need diagrams as to where this part is located/how to service it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Yep, this is common, you should plan on doing a transmission service as well when you have the pan off, use ford parts when doing the repair. Also, you will need to raise the car up to do the job here are two guides that can help you with the solenoid B replacement instructions in the diagrams below.
