I was going with the cheapest fix first, so i already replaced the TCC solonoid and thats not it, so it looks like i'm going to be disassembling my pump next.

When you removed/replaced the lu solenoid, did you push upward on the lu valve (located under the tcc solenoid) to see if it was stuck or moving freely. Its rare, but I have seen the springs break, and a small piece of spring get caught in the valve.
93 is pretty old.... fluid is still in good condition?

Just had the same problem but mine ended up being the soleniod. I would rule out electrical problems first. With the transmition unplugged it should work in D (third gear only) and reverse. If the transmition works unplugged then you know you have an electrical problem somewhere.

I unplugged it, and sure enough, it is still not working. I will have to take a look at that valve this weekend and see if its stuck. I appreciate the tips.
thanks
