Car has no reverse and a problem with shift from 1st to 2nd code is po732 gear 2 ratio is incorrect. Is this a solonoid problem that can be repaired or is a transmission rebuild in order.

You could have a loose input shaft nut that would cause you to have no reverse. You could also have a 2nd gear piston leaking down or a bad 2nd gear actuator or a bad connector bus plate or wiring from the pcm to the valve body without checking these thing's you can't be sure which one you have.

Will a valve body r/r take care of the 2nd gear piston leaking, 2nd gear actuator, and base plate connector

If your talking replacing the valve body that would take care of a possible pressure issue the actuator the bus plate but not the 2nd piston in the transmission if it was leaking. Or a loose input shaft nut or wiring to the pcm or the pcm itself.
