Any other solenoids I should be replacing in the event that the side pan has to come off?

Oh by the way, I went for another drive to show my co-worker what my L67 can do, and aside from needing to downshift into 1st in order to be able to drive it, TCC didn't stay locked, 2nd gear was solid as a rock (I know, I took it to 70mph), and upshifting and downshifting felt smooth the way it should.
One of these days I'm going to get really, really pissed and just swap in a manual transmission.

Yes, pin e to ground, you should have battery voltage. If not, there'* a fuse blown. If that'* the case the transmission will slip in 1st. You will also get a check engine light.
Tables from an 03 Regal on a 99 MC pcm. Hmmm Not sure here...but in the Bonneville you aren't putting all the 03 settings into anything other than 03 plus because half don't exist. I'd be taking a look.
Never did send that guy John a pm at NEP did ya? Since he did it successfully and you are having issues, it would be a priority if it were me struggling. Struggling sucks, pm'* are easy.

Ok, here'* what I've got.
http://www.tripleedgeperformance.com...bout_using.php
. The Pressure Control Solenoid, PCS is different and will NOT interchange, though it may physically fit in either valve body. The solenoid is designed different and does not function the same as the earlier units. If used it can destroy a good trans because pressures will not be correct as the valve body is calibrated different to be used with the new style solenoid as well as different pcm calibrations were made.
i wonder what is meant by "functions differently"...
here'* what alldata says about a 99MC3800 and a 03century3100, repectively.


the only differences in how it operates is the frequency at which the PCM adjusts the current.
