Thread: Does the trans need to be dropped to swap out shift solenoids?

The trans does need to be dropped down to remove the side cover. This doesnt mean complete removal, but the cradle does need lowered to lower down the trans far enough to remove the side cover and some sort of engine support is required to hold the trans up while lowering down the cradle. Before you do all of this check all of the wiring and fuses to make sure you dont have an electrical problem.
