Wow what an old thread. The reason transmission places can act this way is that most people know very little about transmissions, how they work and how to fix. No one else can answer the question about whether you can do this yourself as everyone is different in their abilities. I have torn down and rebuilt transmissions so I have a better idea of what is involved. Needless to say replacing the pressure control solenoid is not a big job since it can be done without removing the transmission - you need to drop the pan, remove & disassemble the valve body and replace the solenoid.
If you want to do it yourself invest the money in the GM car service manual and/or the Matirx transmission repair manual.
