I changed one a year ago just by getting the car up on stands. It's very dirty in the area where the od solenoid lives on drivers side of trans. I had some pb blaster and a short stubby box end wrench. Two bolts - came out easy. The nifty part is pulling it out without getting dirt in the solenoid hole and watching the little rubber seal - plus you have to disconnect the wire to the solenoid which was not difficult if I remember.

Took less than an hour, but I got lucky!
