			Ok. You need to look at the lip right above the pan on the passenger side. There is a number stamped into the case...that number will tell you the year of the tranny. Also, on the driver side, look to see if you have a big round plug or a smaller squarish one.

and you say you dont have t/c either, that other cable is probably cruise control

If it's a 700r4 ( aka older than 1995....'93-down) it has a TV ( throttle-valve) cable. If it's a 4l60e ( aka electronically controlled 700r4) then it does not have a TV cable. Now if someone swapped in a t-350 ( 3 speed/ no OD) then it could have a kickdown. Have you followed the cable in question down to the transmission? It sounds to me like it's cruise control ( which would feel like it didn't have any tension on it).

			the silver colored tranny is a 700r4...notice the big looped cable ( that is the TV cable)
 the black one is a 4l60e...notice no provision for the cable ....

			There is no doubt in my mind that it needs to be rebuilt. Even if it the problem originated with a bad solenoid, driving it even a little bit with the wrong pressure will fry the clutch packs. Replacing a solenoid may work for a little while, but it won't be the end of your problem/s.

			So what are you planning on doing when Aamco calls you back to tell you the trans is wasted? They told you what you wanted to hear just to get the car in the door knowing damn well that there is a 99% chance the trans needs to come out.. We were just trying to tell you what your problem is based on our experience, I am sorry if we did not give you false hope by saying things like "just change the fluid and see what happens" or "maybe its just a $25 solenoid".. We very careful when dealing with big franchise and chains, they are there to make money, not to build quality transmissions.

They are very good at doing what they have to to get your car in their shop. Free towing and diagnostics means they already have your vehicle and chances are you'll just leave it there to be fixed. You will pay way to much for an inferior transmission. You'd be much better off financially, letting one of us rebuild it for you. It will be done right the first time and have much better parts put into it.
