2nd gear solenoid location

[HSVKILLA]

Could someone on here point me in the direction of how to locate the 2nd gear solenoid in an el 4 litre trans,i know you drop the pan and remove the filter but how can i tell which one it is(had a diagnostic scan and it spat up the code for it and is stuck in 3rd gear,limp home mode),cheers.

What solenoid specifically via the scan tool? There is not a specific 2nd gear one . S1 + S2 are the shifting solenoids
S3+4 are for shift comfort control
S5 is pressure
S6 is cutback
S7 lock up converter

And yes each is marked on the valvebody

When i bought the car it was from a guy that owned a tuning workshop and had scanned it twice and both times he said it came up as being the 2nd gear solenoid(maybe he meant the s2 solenoid?).I might just change both the s1 and s2 solenoids while im in there,is there any tips to look out for when doing this or is it fairly just a straight forward swap.

Fairly straight forward. You may have to drop the valvebody down a bit to get them out, I know you have to for the s5 can't remember for the others
