another tranny question

[JCTaz]

My service engine light is on and after driving for a few minuted the "OD OFF" light begins flashing. After having the codes pulled I was informed that the shifter solenoid is stuck closed. Does this mean that the OD is permanently off, on, or not shifting? It seems to still shift OK. Can I drive it like this without permanent transmission damage? Can it be driven short term until I can get it into the shop for repair?

You can probably drive it for a while before it goes completely. Mine started acting up, I drove it for a week and then drove it down to NESHO (about 450 miles).

What was the problem??? was it just the solenoid??? what did it cost to fix?

What were the exact code numbers?

FWIW, the solenoids can be replaced with the transmission still in the car.
