Is that what is called the b solenoid ? I just got a code that said b solenoid had a problem. Is there a place that sells a performance one?

No the b solenoid is a shift solenoid located in the rear of the valve body. I've never heard of hp shift solenoids. I only use OE ones.

Question, do you builders replace the shift solenoids, epc solendoid, and the lock up solenoids when you rebuild a transmission?

TIA

I would replace all of the electronics on the valve body.

I just threw the shift solenoid code also. I run it at the track, spray it, and have a 4000 stall converter. It's fairly cheap and easy to replace. I did notice that the converter is locking up much better now too. Hope this helps. Oh, 67000 on the clock.
