The "new Dexron VI" is a filter? Sorry for the ignorance. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.
The Dexron VI is automatic transmission fluid (ATF). The older version is Dexron III. All 2006 and up GM cars now come with Dexron VI from the factory. The typical shift kits will come with a screen filter and the spacers required to improve the shifting. Also, full documentation to do the mod. The kits range from $18-$30 or higher depending on the company. If you add up the total cost of the Dexron VI and the shift kit you'll see the cost is way less than replacing the PCS solenoid. Best part it is a DIY job. Less than a $60 expenditure. The pan drain plug shown in the first pic was added to make draining easier on the next service.
