I am looking at a 96 sierra z71 package has the 350 vortec auto tranny and its not shifting into overdrive. i was told because it needs a solenoid what kind of cost am i looking at for the solnoid and how hard is it to change. Do i have to pull thw bottom plate on the tranny or is it plug and play?

Thats going to be in the tranny, how many miles? If that is it, not too big a job.

2500 miles on a rebuit tranny, I'd not think it would have any problems? If it were me I'd before buying have the seller fix it. Yes You will have to drop the pan to replace it.
