Regarding transmission wont shift into overdrive, we removed all of the solenoids (one at a time), and tested them with a 12 volt battery. The small two did not test, we cleaned, and resembled, filled with new fluids, and it works GREAT. Solenoids and valve body were $626.38, we saved allot by testing :) Thanks Papa!!
