Can you send me the shop instructions on how to R&R the A and B shift solenoids on my vehicle listed above, 5 speed automatic transmission? FYI, I'm not sure how many shift solenoids there are and where they're located. In fact, I thought there were only two visible after removing the tranny pan. Obviously, we're not going to go into the transmission, and I am only going to pull the AT codes now, but I'm pretty sure the main shift solenoids are clogged.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi,

From what I am reading, it appears you only need to remove the pan and then the filter to access the shift solenoids.

Do me a favor. Take a look at the pics below. Let me know your thoughts and if you have additional questions.

Take care,
