I am having a harsh shifting issue i took the car to a transmission specialist and he recommends it try replacing the third gear solenoid before replacing the valve body assembly.

I am requesting instructions on how to remove the solenoid without disassembling the entire valve body if possible. Otherwise, any write-ups that would be available please. On the valve body as well. This is a V6.
