I am so F****ING happy right now. My transmission issues are GONE!

I have been driving it for a day now after the repair, and have had no missed shifts, and no thunking on deceleration.
I replaced the A, B and Band Apply Solenoids, and that seems to have fixed everything.

I am so relieved that this is no longer an issue. This was the last attempt; if I didnt figure it out with this fix, I was going to sell it. Now I can keep driving it. Whew!

Thanks to everyone who helped me narrow it down, especially MSHardeman and Y33TREKker and super-special thanks to VXobsession!!!

You guys have no idea what a relief this!

Thanks again!

Putting my shopping list together to do this on the Proton. I've been getting the bad shift as well for a couple of weeks (not very consistently yet - just once or twice a day).

Looks like total bill for the job will be less than $200 (all 5 solenoids, both pan gaskets, filter, fluid).

I'll try to take pix & write the How2 in case anyone else needs to follow suit.
