Post the specific DTC. Replacing the shift solenoids(s) is not an easy task but can be done DIY. The complete driver's side transaxle cover must be removed. Plus you will need an engine/transaxle hoist or similar.
Since the problem started with the Lucas additive run some Seafoam tranny treatment through and then do a pan drop ATF drain and replace the screen filter to start.
