So if you guys don't remember me im the guy who had his tranny rebuilt twice in one week! Not by choice of course(My moran of a mechanic failed to inspect the tranny cooler which was clooged!) So the tranny shifts fine most of the time ....Sometimes my van on take off instead of compleating each gear as in 1st.........2nd..........3rd and shifting to the next it instead fells like its downshifting to a lower gear( fells like overdrive) which is odd cause i'm not flooring it i'm litearly taking off normal... My tranny mechanic tells me i need to replace the Solenoid Pack I'd like to know If that sounds about right??? And sometimes the tranny shifts a little hard sometimes......(Completely Rebuilt Tranny w/Moparf ATF 4 Fluid) But didn't replace any electrical on the tranny.

Far from a tranny expert but all I can see left to do short of getting yet another tranny is get it flushed, maybe twice. I don't normally recommend it but in your case I can't see it hurting.
As I've read, reputable tranny shops (they do exist), when presented with a tranny showing catastrophic failure (debrie in the pan), will automatically change the tranny and the torque converter and at least flush the cooler if not change it. Debrie will hide in the TC and cooler and destroy a new tranny.
Has anyone checked for transmission fault codes? A dedicated tranny scanner is needed. Are all the electrical connections clean and tight? Which transmission are we talking about?
