I think install university said there are 3 solenoids on the tranny. The skip shift being the one closest to the front of the car.

Well there are only two solenoids on a T56 but the skipper is the furthest forward one anyway.

I wasnt sure, it was awhile ago when I had looked at it. I have the resistors but I think I'm probably just going to go with an aftermarket unit. Much easier, looks nicer. But about 50 times more expensive.
