Oftentimes, replacing a transmission solenoid will take no more than 2 hours, and repair shops on average charge $60 to $100 per hour for labor, not including cost of parts (a replacement solenoid should cost you no more than $200) or shop fees.
labor is book time of 3.5 hours to change, solenoid pack runs about $155 in my area, then the fluid and pan gasket so.. if shop rate is $80 per hour,labor would be around $255 and parts @ $155+/- and fluid $30 so looking like around a $450 +/- job to give a rough/close estimate. $15.00 tracer fee and $40.00 for parts, I saved several hundreds of dollers at a shop. i will recommend you and use you in the future. 2  David L.
