Hi Luisp813,
Transmission is not electronically controlled so there are no shift solenoids. The only solenoids utilised are for the lock up clutch.
Possible causes for your problems are internal.

This is a trans internal fault with the valve body and controls and a rebuilt is necessary to rectify.
Get a price quote from your local trans specialist.

I would say this is not something for the amateur or DIY.
