There is nothing called a shift point solenoid , So question what is the number of the code you got to make that determination .
thanks

What would the 3-2 downshift soleniod have to do with the loss of 1st and 4th gears? I don't understand that and ask because my car has only used 2nd & 3rd gears at times and would also not lock-up in 3rd.
