New owner, couple of small issues

[amc49]

Some trans designs use a solenoid that modulates the line pressure overall and can affect almost anything on the trans if that one goes............usually called a main pressure solenoid or close. The others usually just work certain facets of the shifting action.

Need a line pressure check, likely not enough there. If pump is prevented from making the pressure needed then of course nothing will work.

There indeed is a 'line pressure solenoid' in that year trans...........

Thanks amc, for the verification on that. The shop says they did test using a pressure gauge at the solenoids and at the pump test port. They were not seeing any pressure at the pump.

The one thing I was not happy about, was that before i actually took the car to them, the shop said they could test the solenoids and the torque converter for failure. However, when I got the final call about not getting line pressure at the pump and learning that that could mean its a problem with everything between the pump and the torque converter, I asked if they tested the torque converter. They told me that there is no test for the torque converter.
