I did a brand new OEM solenoid swap (all 9) on my 09A. I had 2-3K miles of trouble free service from the trans. Lately, my 1st-2nd has been delayed until the car is warmed up (I have a thread here about it).
I am assuming some dirt/debri came loos and is causing that solenoid to malfunction.
I don't want to buy a new solenoid If I don't have to IF they can be blown out or otherwise cleaned (again, it's basically new).
1. Can you do this to the solenoid without harming it?
2. What about a whole valve body? If I were to take all of the solenoids out, might as well clean the offices in the valve body that could also hold the dirt/debri. Off the car obviously.
