when i start the car i notice a tapping sound. it goes away as the car warms up. could this be a valve tap? i also wanted to know how i replace shift solenoid A in the trans. i'm getting that on the diagnostic tool as a code/pending code. i know it is internal i was just wondering if the trans had to be dropped or could i acces it behind trans filter.

Tap lifters try some Marval Mystery Oil to clen out lifters
Shift solenoids on valve body remove pan.
