Duty Solenoids ?

To whom may help me.
I am going to try to be brief,I have a 92 SL-L ,I bought it with a cracked transmission,so after some months of search I found one from a wrecked 94 SVX,my mechanic install it and inmediately he told me the 1-2 shift is getting it at high RPM,sometimes it shifted at 3K and sometimes 4K or 4.5K,depending on the type of aceleration. Thinking the shifting coul be corrected,I install the shift kit from "small car"but nothing happened.I decided to go on vacation and use my car so I went from Oregon to Los Angeles - Las Vegas - SanFrancisco and back to Oregon,3.000 miles in 14 days,the car was awesome it is a wonderful car,during the trip I learned that at first shift I had to let off the foot from the acelerator pedal and the car shifted to 2 shift,well that is what I thought but las week I took my car to a well reputed transmission shop and the expert there test drove it and he told me the car was not shifting to 2,it was skipping it and instead was shifting to third. He told me he needed to test the computer and the vacuum lines to know what it is,well I have an appointment next Thursday 13.But before going there I wanted to have a second opinion so I took it to a mechanic shop close to my work,and I saw the mechanic go to the computer and print some information from Alldata and then he did the self diagnosis test and he told me the blinking power light showed Code 14,that is shift solenoid 2. I went to Subaru and they want $ 357 retail price,but I can get it for $ 285 from them for a 4 solenoid pack,since they come all in one pack.But calling on the phone I could get it from an after market wholesale vendor for $ 100 with my company discount.The thing is that today I had some time off and I did the self diagnosis test that is shown in this Network and I did it twice to make sure and It showed me Code 11 that one long blink and one short or quick blink,I have my doubt if it is 11 or 12,well if it is 11 it correspond to Duty solenoid A,line pressure if it is 12 Duty Solenoid B lock up,but I think is 11 because the second blink is short but faster.i know you Trevor and the rest know a lot about transmission,so if you can give me a hand I certainly would appreciate that.Beforehand Thank you very much
That is the only problem my car has the shifting 1-2.
