The second time I went opening and cleaning the solenoids with a drill bit: transmission working worst than before, surely I went a little too much with the drill (that's the catch with this drill bit cleaning, you never know when it's enough or too much).

Finally went on Ebay and purchased the Rostra solenoids. Working on a DIY video about the steps to replace these (a 50 min. video).
Keep us posted, this sounds very interesting and helpful!
