You advise a constant buzzing from the C solenoid. This can not be taken as a definitive indication that all is OK. If the noise is excessive and unusual, this could indicate a lack of fluid reaching the solenoid valve. Don't throw money at the problem without an initial exact diagnosis.

P.S. I note that you have a Small Car shift kit fitted. This will not have been doing solenoid "A" any good and as a result line pressure may be down. In any event this is worth checking as of routine, before rushing into bigger things.
