Try the drain and fill 3x procedure before throwing other parts at it. It’ll take a few weeks if you wait a week between each change, to give time for the fresh fluid to do its thing
Thanks, I might try a couple drain and fills. I just bought the car and the trans fluid already seemed new so I'm worried now that they flushed the fluid to hide any burning/metal in the fluid, but it's too late now. There doesn't seem to be any burning or metal in it at the moment.
I was considering skipping the drain and fill since the fluid already looks new and going straight to the solenoid and filter replacement, but i might try doing a drain and fill one or two times.
It seems like the solenoid can be found for around $80 and the filter for around $40. I heard it's important to get the OEM trans filter because theres a special part inside it that only the OEM one has. 12 quarts of the trans fluid seems to be around the same price as those 2 parts so i'm debating just trying the parts first since the fluid already looks new.
