Re: Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement

My research led me to reference a TSB about the 1-2, 3-4 Shift Solenoid assembly, which is a pretty cheap part. (Both meanings) Is this something I should consider replacing in the driveway with hand tools, or should I just take it to a pro?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Hello

Welcome to AFs!

Have you checked the fluid level and fluid condition? When was the last time it was changed? The filter could be pluged??? Sorry I don't know if this is a DIY job.

Regards

Dan
