OK but nothing to do with clutches atc. The solenoid valve, the item referred to, can fail in a mechanical or electrical sense, i.e. (1) The armature or valve could be mechanically seized/stuck, open or closed. (2) The solenoid coil could be electrically shorted or open circuit, either fault thus effecting the hydraulic circuit.
