What you need to do is drain all the oil in the gearbox of transmission.
Replace with a NEW solenoid kit and put in NEW transmission oil. Recycle the old oil at your local mechanics shop.
If you don't change the oil, the old oil will cause the solenoid to stick.

I had a shifting problem. The car would start in the wrong gear and shift at wrong times. I repaced the governor postion sensor and tranny fluid and the problem has been fixed for several years. Did you replace the tranny fluid?

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2w Drive won't go into reverse.

Service the transmission and when you have the pan off, adjust the reverse band. It is either out of adjustment or worn out. Try the adjustment first and if it doesn't get any better, you'll have to have the transmission rebuilt.

Check your rear emergency brakes. A brake shoe pin could have broke and the shoe locks up in 1 direction. but not the other. The other problem you mentioned could happen, but if it is in reverse the trans shifted.

Check the trans fluid level first. To do this have the car running at operating temp check the level if low adjust to proper level and recheck. If thats not it I will help u trouble shoot it further. Sounds like a bad torque converter.

2007 Chevy Avalanche 3rd and 4th gear are not working

From what you are describing, it is possible either the 3-4 actuator is no longer playing with the 3rd & 4th clutch packs, only way to know for certain is to hook up the good ol' pressure gauge to trans. system, yeah, you think the Chevrolet dealer should know this right?

Sell it now if you can!

Revolving, clanking noise when shifted into reverse or drive that disappears at road speed.

I would check the torque converter bolts to make sure they haven't backed out, may possibly be a cracked flex plate also

Shifting lever doesnt lock

Likely the shift detent mechanism is broken. It's inside the unit and can be reached by removing the trans pan. It should be just inside where the shift lever goes through the case.
