Then unplug harness and remove two or three bolts and carefully slide them off so as not to damage the gaskets or the two small dime size screens that filter the fluid. Clean them by spraying carb or brake cleaner. Also you can test for function by grounding them and applying 12 volts. You will hear a solid click if functioning properly. No click, no upshift. Hope this helps.
Thanks much for your info bamajim! I'll give that a shot and let you know.
