It is not necessary to remove the transmission to access the solenoid. You should determine that the overdrive relay is actually delivering 12v to the solenoid. The wire to the solenoid (you will see once you are under there) should supply 12v when the relay is activated (arrow on dash will be OFF). Many times the wire suffers from exposure to the rough environment under the car. Also be aware that if it does not show 12v at the solenoid you should then check the relay output that supplies the 12v to the wire as I assume that just because it "clicks" doesn't prove that it is not without fault (you might want to do this first as it is the easier of the two tasks). The relay is located to the left of the opening for the glovebox (which is removed by extracting the screws around the edges and disconnecting the wire for the light). Follow the clicks if necessary to pinpoint its location once the glovebox is out of the way.
