Tom,
I did not intend to indicate that the problem was exactly solenoid related and my main intent was to caution against spending money needlessly. There appears to be no exact advice, that the problem occurs only when the transmission is hot, but such is very likely. It is unfortunate that those endeavoring to assist, continually face the problem of inexact information.
Worn friction surfaces; inadequate line pressure due to many possibilities; whatever. As you correctly stated,---- " without seeing/hearing/feeling the car" ----Who knows? We can only guess.
What surprises me, is that none of those who have exact hands on knowledge of the internals, have exactly/properly defined the most common shortcomings/problems. All we on record is generalities and advice that the SVX tranny is NBG.
The information posted here is usually confined to, "blown transmission replaced ". Rather than, ----- within the transmission failed, causing------, because------, due to -------. If ---------, had been attended to, this may not have happened.
Cheers, Trevor.
