Transmission Repair
I took my 2007 Jaguar Xtype to the dealer and they said I need a solenoid for the transmission. Is this a costly repair? Should I look at replacing the transmission? Gears one thru three work fine and so does reverse. Also, fluid level is good. Any suggestions? It's an automatic.

Therefore, I prefer to repair my car on my own. If you are worried, you can find out more about your transmission here. It often helped me out.

"Better Living Through Chemistry" is appropriate here.
A $20 can of Transmission Medic-type fix-it just might do the trick, and is well worth the try.
Next - personally - I would inspect, clean and de-grease all seven the electrical connectors that connect to the solenoids, per the photo of the valve body as per that excellent page given you by Dell Gailey.
(and don't forget the five solid whacks with the rubber hammer to the valve body while you're under the car. Maybe start there, first)
