Hello everyone, I am seeking some knowledge and advice from others who have been in my situation. I have flushed my transmission, 124 K miles no known service history, and replaced the B4 cover. While it has dramatically improved my shift issues, I am still experiencing some flares mainly between 3-4 and strange downshifting, also hard gear engagement from park. Is it worth the time and money to pull the valve body and either replace solenoids, or replace the entire valve body? Or should I plan on investing in a new transmission? I know for many the solenoid repairs and valve body has been successfully done, but I really hate to waste money if it is a band aid fix. Any advice or comments is appreciated. And thanks to everyone that has supplied the info for the flush and cover replacement
