Default Shift Solenoid or worse??

My trans is stock with the 3200 stall..A while back it threw a code saying Shift Solenoid 2 is stuck or something of that nature..I deleted it..And continued..
NOW!!!..It seems as i shift from 2-3 the car vibrates like a mother!!!..I thought it was the rear end...But it doesent happen when the car downshifts..

But when you get on the pedal..It dosent make that vibrating **** at all..Only going through traffic or under 40..So im gonna change the 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoids today..Hopefully that is all..Any comments are very welcomed here..I need the help..

Also just remove the valve body and it is right there..right?

if it holds at wot and since you have a stall. I would bet more on a pending converter clutch failure. look at data if possible and see if the shudder coincides with lockup enable

Yeah..i cant..dont have the tools..so you think i should change the TCC Solenoid while im i n there..

Also since the car is untuned it stops shifting/going at around 4500 rpm..but the speedomotor is at 160..im gussing cause its not programmed..so basically 4th gear is out becuase of that?

And it takes a LONG time to sift out of 2-3..Im gussing thats the cause too..
