4l80e shift solenoid plug Hey guys I have a 4l80e with a full manual valve body conversion with zero electronics except for the converter lock up. So I've been having an issue with my 1-2 shift when the trans gets up to temperature the shift takes a second to happen and its lazy sometimes... I talked with a 80e builder at hughes performance and he said the shift solenoid is leaking or the linkage is off. So I checked the linkage and it's perfect, then looked for the shift solenoid to replace it and found theres a plug instead of a solenoid. And sure enough the o ring on the plug was garbage and the plug could just be wiggled and moved all around. I've tried looking everywhere for either a new plug/o ring but I havent had any luck and its driving me insane so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the new parts or some other solution. Heres a picture of both solenoid A and B plugs

Who built the valve body with the plugs?
Have you reached out to them for a new one?
Also, if you need just the o ring, I would *assume* that it uses a standard solenoid o ring....any trans shop local to you should have 100 of those o rings just laying around. Ask for one
