P0796 solenoid c stuck off.

[Smuggler_04]

Am curious as to what to do about this, shop says it could be the reason for my hard shifting, pan showed about 1/4 inch or less metal on the magnet. Oil inside is kinda burnt. Has not been serviced since I owned it. But the only error the computer came up with was a bad solenoid.

o/d light is flashing crazy, could this just need new fluids and solenoid?


$488 for total repair, but shop said I should do the whole tranny.....

need suggestions.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the transmission section. Which vehicle is this for? Each generation Explorer has a different transmission so it's a good idea to update your profile with your model, year, and location. The vehicle specs link could have additional information.
