my 1995 Q w/150,000 k which purrs like a kitten, came up with a transmission malfunction error on friday and locked me into 3rd gear, sometimes it will reset and act normally. Brought it to a reputable transmission guy, scanned the computer and the 2nd gear celanoid error appeared. The celanoids only come as a pakage so to replace them and the filter and gasket $390.00.the celanoids from infinity alone are $389.00. has anyone had similar issue??

Pretty rare for solenoid to actually fail, but the electrical connections [internal or external] or varnished up plunger from failure to perform your maintenance. Or the valve body that the solenoid controls.
