Yes you can do it. Just remove the pan and on the rear of the valve body the solenoids can be replaced by removing the clips with a pick. Be sure to lube up the new seals with some trans fluid.

Default how can you tell?
how can you tell if you have blown one of the shift solenoids? I am A4 and it seems when I kick down while in the 3rd or 4th (I assume it is kicking down to 2nd when I hit the gas to WOT), it seems to punch, then lag out some times


suggestions?

Usually if these solenoids are failing they will also set a dtc. A lot of times, the valve body is at fault for causing weird shifting problems. If sediment get in the valves, it can hang it up one time and the next time could be just fine.
