It's not easy, and I wouldn't reccomend it for someone without experience. I'm curious to know how you decided the solenoid C was not at fault

Burns out good, eh?

I expect you know if the tires are lighting up, the transmission clutches are having a warm time too?

Keep smiling

some cases the Sol. C. mechanically sticks even though the electrical part may work fine.

If installing the fuse results in only FWD and with no problems, it is VERY unlikely that solenoid C is faulty.
