Default DTC code for solenoid in transmission. EZ fix??

A buddy @ work wants to buy this '97 V6 camaro for $1,600 and use it as a DD. He said that there's no code in the add, just says something about a DTC code for solenoid in transmission. Is that an EZ fix or not even worth the $1,600 for the car price?

should be on the valve body, you need to remove the pan and filter and replace tranny oil.

Does he know the code? But a DTC like that can be caused by low fluid in the trans or a bad solenoid.

Might not work if the trans has been slipping for a while not building pressure due to that solenoid. The clutches might of wasted down and will end up in trans failure. Mostlikly the best fix is to rebuild.
