Could just be hard part failure if the solenoids aren't fixing the issue.

Assume you changed fluid? Have you had the exhaust back pressure tested to rule out the catalytic? Does it run rough like there could be a vacuum leak somewhere?

Yeah I change the fluid I never had the exhaust back pressure check before but I was reading about it it was saying something about you have to reset the ECM cuz of the new solenoids the computer probably reading if I still has the old solenoids in could that be it

You had the battery disconnected for over an hour I'm sure, the PCM should be fine.

I had same problem with a 91 caddy trans. once, I used a product called "shudder stop", it really worked, worth a shot?.

Ok I'm going to try it out...I know alot of people telling me that my transmission is shout out cause I told them that when it's making a whining sound that I know it would change from first to second but not the third of 4 but if it's not making a winding sound it won't change at all so I don't know I'm about to just give up on this car
