s1, whatdaya mean?

Solenoid valves (SL, S1, S2, STH), see top photo, sit in the hydraulic system valve housing, which is located beneath the housing cover on the transmission. Solenoid SL regulates the torque converter lock-up function, and valves S1 and S2 control the shifting. These valves are activated by the transmission control module, as is solenoid valve STH, which controls the transmission line pressure.

If there is a code found for an open circuit in one of the shift solenoids and erratic shifting (starting off in second or third gear), it is possible to replace them with the transmission in the car. Its recommended that both S1 and S2 solenoid valves are replaced even though the ohm readings are in specification (10-15 ohms), as its been known that the solenoid valves work intermittently.

And sorry mate I have no idea how expensive these little puppies are
