Lowboy44 - note that the code p0013 points to a SOLENOID that needs replacing (not a SENSOR - they are two totally different things). Often parts stores suggests replacing the sensor which is incorrect. So make sure you get the SOLENOID - 843de's link points to the procedure for replacing the solenoid(s) as well as the GM part numbers. It's a pretty easy job so can likely be done in your driveway if you have a screwdriver, and a simple set of sockets.
