Default disconnected linear solenoid ???

I have a 96 civic auto
it slams everytime i put it in D
or when it upshifts or downshift
I scanned it and it said disconnected linear solenoid
I did the whole tranny flush thing with honda fluid, nothing changed
I evenchanged the solenoid and it still slams
I borrowed my friends computer and it still does it
please help me

ps the D on the shift indicator doesn't light up in
the cluster eitherdon't know whats up with that.
if anybody knows how to fix that too, get at me

What was the specific fault code? What fault code reader did you use? or was it just a bridging wire? Have you erased the code?

I tried erasing it but it comes back as soon as it goes away

Sorry for the delay in posting, I am in the UK. Fault code 1768 is designated as... torque convertor / clutch solenoid valve "B" .... any solenoid valve problems are associated with dirty fluid, it only takes 1 ounze of foreign matter to trash an auto-box and torque convertor. If you have already changed the solenoid & changed the fluid, then it means a replacement box & torque convertor. I dont see any other way around the problem. If the internal valve-block is contaminated it cannot be repaired satisfactorily..... much cheaper to fit a replacement box...& torque convertor... 2nd hand preferably. I hope that this helps.

I was thinking about replacing the trannybecause I did everything possible to try and fix itbut I wanted to make sure so I wouldn't wind up having two tranny doing the same thing in case it was electrical.
thanks anyways for your help
