From my understanding for my car listed above, the solenoids should be attached to the valve body. Are the solenoids exposed when taking off the transmission oil pan?

Hi,

The shift lock solenoid is on the exterior. See pic 1. Also, if you remove the pan, you should have access to both shift solenoids one and two. See pic 2

Which one are you after? Also, is there anything I can do to help?

Let me know.

Joe
