03 Type S

I have a minor problem with shuddering and light bucking in D5 in 5th or so at 20-30mph. Some say its Torque converter related. Changing fluid once helped for a bit, came back. Changed fluid again (first change came out disgusting, might have been some still stuck in TC), and its 90% gone. Car drives mint in D4, no shuddering, I can upshift into 5th at 60+mph

I understand i still might have solenoids gunked up.

Is there a DIY on the solenoid cleaning? Where and what to remove? Please advise.

On 03, there is a external tranny filter you need to replace. Look at the link below. There is also another thread about solenoid cleaning and replacing that you have to search for.

Thanks. I didn't know about the filter.

However, the thread with the solenoid, the pictures are taken down. I took it apart and had a hard time figuring it out what was what. Any help would be great.
