Its possible all the 3rd gear clutches are gone, thus no 3rd gear, regardess it pretty much needs a rebuild or swap it for a different one.

If 1, 2, and 4 work, it's not a soleniod. Take a look at the info in the links by searching on "trans info" and my screen name. It'll give you the info to ohm etc for testing. Plus it'll show you the shift combo's that prove it's not the solenoid.
These trannies are known for killing third clutches or the third sprag when you lose third. I'd hit car-part.com and find one local for a good price with warranty.
Then search "transmission eas y" without the space between the s and y and my name. Piece of cake to swap it. Being a mechanic, should take you about 4-5 hours tops.

thanks guys, actaully it feels like its in 2 and thats it?? still not a siliond. so 1,3,4, od. nothing??

If you have no power to the trans it will be 3rd gear only. Might want to check the fuses.

ok, so i have been looking into the car more. it shifts good through second, then theres nothing.. u just rev it out at max rev. doesn't try to even shift into third or tries too? it just revs out.. staying in second. the scanner said shift B stuck open or off?? im buying the solenoids this weekend so im going to do all of them, think its them or not.
it has a lot of power just through 1,2 then revs out but it %$#^ing screams through those two gears!!
