Big Advice

I've allready read all the threads about the subject in this forum but ...
To make a long story short: Few months ago I went to a dealership to check my CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT, they told me the code were P0775 and P0735, and they had to open the tranny to check the solenoid pack, so I went to a second lincoln dealer and they told me it's nothing, this kind of stuff happens in winter, so I just waited til last week the check trans came out 3 times so I am planning to buy a new valve body and a new solenoid pack from Five Star Ford Parts cause they are really cheap compare to the dealers here in quebec, here the valve body is 670.94 $ US and the solenoid pack is 571.65 $ US ( compare to five star valve body is 323.75 and solenoid pack is 255.22 ) so I would go to the dealer have them open the tranny and check it out and if the parts needs to be replaced they could do it right away, and I wouldn't have to pay just to check the problem( 2 hours labor). What do you guys think, is it a good idea, plus does it happen to be just the solenoid pack or is it always both of them. Thanx for your advices

Just a guess here...but if the 00 models have had updated parts, the Ford catalog should give you those updated numbers. There shouldn't be a need to order a different year's part numbers...unless there is a trick here I don't know about.
