Shift Solenoid

Yes, the bottom bolts are tucked behind the subframe. It might be possible to get them out with an open-end or box wrench, but I decided for a little more effort I would make it easier.

Fastsuv excellent pictures and description of what your doing.
This will help a lot of people who want to do it or people that need it done.
How long do you think it took you to get to the point of replacing the solenoids ?

I would say it took about 4 hours to get to where I am at now (solenoids exposed and ready to replace).
Its actually pretty easy, just takes time. No special skills needed (like setting up a rear differential ring and pinion for example). Of course, I have a lift so that shaves some time off.
This HHR is from Florida, so no rusted fasteners that won't come out or break off.
I am replacing the 1-2 solenoid, 2-3 solenoid, TCC solenoid, pressure control solenoid, and pressure switch while I have it apart. That's basically all the electrical parts accessible witht he side cover off.
