    Clean area around solonoid (2 bolts) real good before taking it off. That area collects a lot of grease and grime that you don't want going into the tranny. Watch out for the two rubber 0-rings (one small, one larger), they fit into slots on tranny. If you lose one they can be gotten at dealership for a nominal fee.

    Any solenoid can be tested off the car. You have to determine which connectors feed the actuating coil and hook them to a 12 V source to see if the relay actuates. While it is actuated check with an OHM meter across the power connectors to make sure there is close to 0 resistance across.
