[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 617476, member: 52972"] FlipTrac, I have been trying to tell most people who have reported symptoms of transmission slipping that replacing the valvebody and/or solenoids only works if the bands and clutches have not been damaged by the previous slipping. In my opinion, the replacing of the solenoid is worthless if you do not change the valvebody since the sticking is caused in the vavlebody and that will weaken the new solenoid and the slipping will likely return very soon. I'm glad your dealer is now smart enough to know that you need the transmission replaced and not just patched again. Unfortunately, many dealers will try to patch a slipping transmission with a new solenoid hoping that will get the vehicle past the warranty, then they can really make some money. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
