vwalburn,
I have literally done exactly what Kenth is saying.
You don’t just yank a plastic solenoid out.
There are plastic clips (hooks) on the inside to secure this unit. The pan needs to come off along with the ATF metal filter to have access to the old O-ring.
There is another wire clipped to the opposite side of solenoid inside the pan as my photo shows, so use caution.
It says this in the Pontiac Factory Shop Manual......drop the pan for service on solenoid.
You may want to consult an old school transmission shop for their suggestions.
Anyway, good luck as this method work for me recently.
Chris.
