Its a little dome shaped thing if I remember right. Its real simple but make sure you get a 12v one and not a 24v one or it will cause problems. You can just order one and put the new one in to solve your problem. I can't remember for the life of me where its located though. Someone will chime in and help im sure.

to test it unplug the main plug on the side of the tranny and hook up a lock uop switch except splice into the orange and black wire i think it's pin #1.that takes the computer out and you are actually grounding it out without going through the computer.

if it is shifting into 4th gear then the lock up solenoid is good.all he sai was wrong was that it won't lock up.
